There are works of art which unmistakably define, and indeed are almost synonymous with, an epoch, a movement or an artistic technique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the field of manuscript illumination, this is the case with Tr\u00e8s Riches Heures du Duc de Berry<\/a> <\/em>for Franco-Flemish illumination, Bibbia di Borso d\u2019Este<\/a> <\/em>for Italian illumination and Codex Manesse<\/a> <\/em>for German illumination, given that the volume, pride of the Universit\u00e4tsbibliothek in Heidelberg (the famous Palatine Library<\/strong>, where it is cataloged as Cod. Pal. germ. 848) can be considered the single most important item of Germanic book heritage<\/strong> \u201cbefore Gutenberg\u201d both for its lavish decoration and its textual content: the largest, richest and most important literary source relating to those \u201ctroubadours\u201d of Mediaeval courtly song known as Minnes\u00e4nger<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
