Laura Light, our director, senior specialist and expert text manuscript cataloger takes a moment today to discuss Les Enluminure’s textmanuscripts.com. What is a text manuscript, and what makes them different from illuminated manuscripts with text? Who buys text manuscripts and how are they used now? Join Laura to discover the answers to these and many other questions. She also discusses the details of her favorite notable manuscripts currently in the text manuscript archive including an eleventh century french pontifical with a text detailing the reconstruction of a sacred space where blood has been spilled, two presentation booklets for Heinrich Conried that include neo-medieval illuminations of Parsifal’s grail and Salome’s veil, and a manuscript featuring Thomas Aquinas’ Commentary on the Ethics of Aristotle with illuminations by Leonardo Bellini, the most important Venetian illuminator working between 1460-80.
