The reproduction of a previously duplicated original (identical copying is only feasible with printing) is always called a reprint, even when a reproduction strives to be identical in form and image.<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-hl alignleft\"><span class=\"block-hl-line\"><\/span>For the collector, the facsimile equates to a manuscript\u2019s first edition<span class=\"block-hl-line\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Of course, the boundaries are fluid, such as in the case of incunabula, which are enhanced artistically with individual ornamentation and imaginative, artful pictorial decoration. We need only recall the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/search\/term\/gutenberg%20bible\/country\/2-Germany\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">various exemplars of the Gutenberg Bible<\/a> (B42), all of which are regarded as unica.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, even hand-colored prints that become <em>unica<\/em> through individual coloration can become facsimiles through faithful reproduction. This also holds true for glossed prints, given a unique character by their marginalia.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4615\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Gutenberg_Bibel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Gutenberg_Bibel-1024x1458.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"854\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Gutenberg&#8217;s Bible, a masterpiece by Johannes Gensfleisch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It is clear from the earlier definition of the facsimile that the printing process used is not a criterion for defining the concept. It does not matter with which technology a unicum is reproduced. When such a published work achieves its defined objective relevant to the times, then it is to be called a facsimile. What is decisive is the elimination to the greatest extent possible of manual copying work, for a facsimile has to be objective, not subjective. The facsimile is not simply an individual copy, but instead a likeness printed for the first time and faithfully reproduced. <strong>For the collector, the facsimile equates to a manuscript\u2019s first edition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-hl alignright\"><span class=\"block-hl-line\"><\/span>Today\u2019s collectors, as a rule, expect complete reproductions, a concern also shared by the libraries<span class=\"block-hl-line\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p>The modern facsimile not only mirrors the original\u2019s format exactly, but also completely. Only in exceptional, well-founded cases that are documented in the commentary volume may parts only of a manuscript be reproduced true to the original and may blank pages or evidently unimportant texts dating from later times be omitted.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, \u201cpartial\u201d facsimile editions were brought out repeatedly. Today\u2019s collectors, as a rule, expect complete reproductions, a concern also shared by the libraries.<\/p>\n<p>So it happened in the 1970s that a splendid edition of the famous <strong>Psalter of Saint Louis<\/strong>\u00a0were reproduced by France\u2019s National Library (some copies were even reproduced with genuine gold leaf), which contained the complete introductory sequence of pictures and calendarium, all faithfully facsimilized. However, only the miniature pages were reproduced from the actual Psalter and the text-only pages were left out completely. Soon after, a similar thing happened with the <strong>Tr\u00e8s Riches Heures of the Duc de Berry<\/strong>; it was not until 1984 that the complete facsimile of this queen of medieval manuscripts was facsimilized in toto.<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-hl alignleft\"><span class=\"block-hl-line\"><\/span>We can only speak of a facsimile when it is modeled on a unique original, that is, a <strong>unicum<\/strong><span class=\"block-hl-line\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/facsi.ms\/l\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Hours of Catherine of Cleves<\/strong><\/a>, the <strong>Tr\u00e8s Riches Heures of the Netherlands<\/strong>, from the <strong>Pierpont Morgan Library in New York<\/strong>, also first appeared as a color reproduction of all miniatures, before the Faksimile Verlag in 2009 was once again able to present the facsimile edition of this, the most unusual book of hours from the entire Middle Ages.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4616\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TRH_offen.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4616 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TRH_offen-1024x593.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TRH_offen-1024x593.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TRH_offen-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TRH_offen-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TRH_offen.jpg 1865w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Facsimile edition of Les Tr\u00e8s Riches Heures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In order to attain the above-mentioned objective of <em>facsimilization<\/em> \u2013 replacing the original as fully as possible in scholarship and bibliophilia \u2013 the additional rule applies that in all cases a true facsimile edition must come with a commentary, because even a faithful reproduction still does not make the original of a medieval illuminated manuscript accessible to the modern reader. A facsimile edition\u2019s user, regardless if layman or scholar should be put in the position (figuratively speaking) of looking over the shoulder of the knowledge-steeped librarian.<\/p>\n<p>Only by clarifying the historical context in a good, detailed volume of commentary is it possible to experience manuscripts as they were at the time of their creation.\u00a0This does not apply necessarily in other cultural spheres in which readers remain aware of spoken, written and pictorial traditions. <strong>Judaic manuscripts<\/strong> from the 13th century are for the educated Jew today just as comprehensible as they were 800 years ago.<\/p>\n<h2>Coming Next..<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/story-manuscript-facsimile-production\/\" target=\"_blank\"
