Product details

From the Book of Kells to Boccaccio's Decameron, and from the Vienna Genesis to Dante's The Divine Comedy: Opening illustrious codices transports you into an extremely precious and private world. This radiant work, now appearing in a new format, offers you a unique opportunity to admire 167 of the most beautiful and important manuscripts of the Middle Ages. The brilliantly and large-format reproduced masterpieces of miniature painting and illumination, dating from the 4th century to 1600, once belonged to some of the most powerful rulers in history. Today, these art historical treasures are worth a fortune and are typically buried in private collections or hard-to-access archives. Now you have the chance to finally see them! While the focus is on Western manuscripts, examples from Mexico, Persia, and India are also showcased.
