A Beautiful Manuscript
Today, we thought we would just treat you to a moment of beauty. These images are from a manuscript Book of Hours produced in Florence in the late 15th century. It is on uterine vellum made from the skin of unborn sheep or calves, and was illuminated in Attavante's atelier. Each miniature is a lovely Renaissance painting that fits in the palm of your hand.
Come see it by asking for Codex Manuscript 001054, and there is a little more information on our "Script to Pixels" website.
