Description:
This volume includes a brilliant selection of miniatures from the end of the 5th century - beginning of the 6th until the 17th century. With harmonious combinations of colours, often matched with gold, delicately worked with attention to detail and miniature painted expressions, the icons of the manuscripts interpret and comment on texts from the Bible and the ancient scholarship or they adorn them with spectacular first handwritings and ornate jewelry.
