Delve into the rich history of medieval manuscripts through this captivating collection of illustrations. Witness the wisdom of Rabanus Maurus, a 9th-century scholar, as depicted in Gerarde Cassinel's hand-coloured lithograph from the Bibliotheque Nationale. Observe Cassinel, lady of honour to Queen Isabelle of Bavaria, surrounded by the beauty of city and country life in the 15th century. Encounter angels and David with the Ark of the Covenant, and St. Bernard in his Cistercian habit, battling a chained devil. Gaze upon the shepherds with their flocks in the Codex Vergilius Romanus, and the presentation of a manuscript to Emperor Charles the Bald. Lastly, ponder the apocalyptic horsemen, a chilling reminder of the end times as depicted in another illuminated manuscript by Rabanus Maurus.
