Angebote / Angebote:

Cambridge is the depository of one of the greatest collections of illuminated manuscripts in the world. The present volume is published to accompany the exhibition of some two hundred spectacular Cambridge treasures covering a unique array of outstanding but rarely seen illuminated books. The Catalogue spans over ten centuries of book production, from the significant sixth-century Gospels of St Augustine, to the great Romanesque Bibles such as the Bury and Dover Bibles, the exquisite and emotive devotional books of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, up to the refined, classical elegance of the Humanist books of early Renaissance Italy. All manuscripts catalogued are illustrated in full color, and there is a Glossary, exhaustive Bibliography and detailed Index.
