Illuminated manuscripts are often in the form of decorated letters that are designed with borders, initials, and other illustrations. These manuscripts were books made manually, produced in Western Europe. These books were mainly written concerning Christian scripture and other practices, such as medieval art. The name “illuminated books” came about because of the use of precious glittering stones such as silver and gold, which gives the texts and additional illustrations high illumination. Several artisans of the Islamic faith also adapted this technique of using shinning elements for their illustrations; however, the term “illuminated manuscripts” was commonly predominant among the Christian themes and artistic works manufactured in Europe.
A wide range of pre-Christian written books, for example, Virgil, was often illuminated. The monastics living in Abbey were initially responsible for the manufacture of these hand-made brightened books. However, as popularity and demand increased, the monks could not produce all that was needed. This led to the commercialization of the manufacture of these brightened books and lay bookmakers took control of producing them. The cost of making these ancient medieval artworks was expensive, this is part of the reason the monks could not handle the production on their terms. Due to the high price after production, only persons of relevant and noteworthy earning could pay for them.
One of the most popular types of manuscripts was the “Book of Hours”, a Christian religious book that contains prayers, which specific different times it should be said during the day. Many of these ancient illuminated books produced during the medieval era has been either lost or destroyed. In this collection, we will expose you to varied illuminated books and ancient medieval art manuscripts, as well as over 300 images of illuminated pages from various ancient books.
Take a look at the sample pages taken from just some of these books in the collection.
