Works of Art \u2013 Small, Personal and Intimate<\/h2>\n

The small-format facsimile<\/strong> of Pierre Salas\u2019 Small Book of Love \u2013 Le Petit Livre d\u2019Amour<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0exhibits rare products of bourgeois-secular book painting<\/strong> for personal use. The poet Pierre de Salas<\/strong> filled this volume at the beginning of the 16th century with miniatures and intimate verses as an expression of love for his bride-to-be. Before Faksimile Verlag, no publisher had tackled this type of book, which gives insight into new facets of intellectual life as the Middle Ages were ending.<\/p>\n

\"Binding<\/a>
The Petites Pri\u00e8res of Ren\u00e9e de France is bound with an embroidered velvet cover with silver threads<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dating from the late period of French book painting<\/strong>, we have a small book of prayers<\/strong> written and painted for Anne of Brittany<\/strong>\u2019s younger daughter Ren\u00e9e, the Flowers Prayer Book of Ren\u00e9e of France<\/strong><\/a>. Until its theft during an exhibition at Montecassino, it graced the Biblioteca Estense<\/strong> in Modena.<\/p>\n

By a great stroke of luck, prior to the theft, all preparations were in place for the creation of a facsimile edition of this little gem.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Prayer<\/a>
The French queen Anne de Bretagne made wonderful little Prayer Books for her children, to help with their education.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As a result, the facsimile could provide the public with its only access to this manuscript with the embroidered velvet cover. This example shows how important a role reproducing a tome has come to play in protecting cultural treasures.<\/p>\n

Italian Renaissance \u2013 German Humanism<\/h2>\n

With the Sforza Book of Hours<\/strong><\/a>, Faksimile Verlag<\/strong> took on for the first time an opulent Renaissance manuscript<\/strong>. Two editions were presented: one, in four volumes, just as the original from the British Library<\/strong> in London is exhibited today, and another in a single volume, in order to reproduce the original condition of the almost 700 pages long manuscript with its blend of Italian and Flemish art<\/strong> by painters Giovan Pietro di Birago<\/em> and Gerard Horenbout<\/em>. The bejeweled presentation case of sterling silver for this very small, single volume version became an impressive artifact of the modern goldsmith\u2019s art<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Sforza<\/a>
In the facsimile of the Sforza Hours the four parts of this Italian-Flemish masterpiece were printed together<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Undoubtedly, it was the Model Book of Giovanni de Grassi<\/strong><\/a> that stimulated the crafting of the Italian miniatures<\/strong> and their iconographic models in the Sforza Book of Hours<\/strong>, which had been drawn up by a master builder of the Milan Dome<\/strong> before the end of the 14th century and which directly influenced the painters of Jean Duke of Berry<\/strong>\u2019s manuscripts. With that work, the important model type of book also enriched the Faksimile Verlag\u2019s library.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The Glockendon Hours of Albert of Brandenburg, in the Biblioteca Estense of Modena: here is the Adoration of the Magi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The intense way in which Faksimile Verlag tackled the inexhaustible-seeming manuscript treasures of the libraries of Upper Italy is impressive. The Renaissance\u2019s most beautiful astronomy book<\/strong>, De Sphaera<\/strong><\/a>, saw the start of an intensive collaboration with the Biblioteca Estense in Modena. The facsimile edition of this manuscript, with its resplendent colors and lively handwriting, sold out shortly after it appeared, just as quickly as an especially interesting and important German illuminated manuscript<\/strong> from Modena, the Glockendon Hours<\/strong><\/a>, the devotional book<\/strong> for Albrecht von Brandenburg<\/strong> that documents D\u00fcrer<\/strong>\u2019s influence on book painting<\/strong> in an exemplary fashion.<\/p>\n

Hand-painted and hand-written books remained popular even long after the printing of books had begun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"German<\/a>
A masterpiece of the German book art is the German Prayer Book of the Margravine of Brandenburg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But the Nuremberg Glockendon Hours<\/strong> too makes the history of German humanism<\/strong> and also makes problems of the Reformation and Counterreformation understandable. In this respect, Faksimile Verlag early on picked up a theme that art and intellectual history had neglected for a long time. The German Prayer Book of the Marchioness of Brandenburg<\/strong><\/a> from the holdings of the Badische Landesbibliothek<\/strong> in Karlsruhe deepens the understanding of the world of the 16th century in Germany, its iconography, and the new forms of artistic expression in D\u00fcrer\u2019s time. It is also evidence that hand-painted and hand-written books remained popular even long after the printing of books had begun.<\/p>\n

History Books in the Middle Ages<\/h2>\n

People of the Middle Ages<\/strong> also wanted to understand historical connections. One of the best-known history books<\/strong> \u2013 it recounts the history of the world from the Creation to the last of the Staufers \u2013 is the Saxon World Chronicle<\/strong>. Faksimile Verlag wasted no time after German reunification in making the Gotha manuscript<\/strong> of the Saxon World Chronicle accessible. The publisher coupled a great scholarly objective with the facsimile edition of The Book of the World \u2013 Saxon World Chronicle<\/strong><\/a>: the definitive edition of the entire text of the Saxon World Chronicle was incorporated in this facsimile edition<\/strong>, which since then has come to be called the \u201cthe Lucerne edition<\/strong>\u201d in scholarly circles.<\/p>\n

\"Book<\/a>
Book of the World: The Saxon World Chronicle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A totally different, secular book, shows us the literary aspect of written history: Guido de Columnis\u2019 Trojan War<\/strong><\/a>, with its 334 pictures shining with gold, is one of the most beautiful manuscripts in the \u00d6sterreichische Nationalbibliothek<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This truly great facsimile edition was made possible by the pooling of publishing and distribution resources started in 2006 under the roof of the Bertelsman firm.<\/p>\n

The Wonders of the World in Marvelous Miniatures<\/h2>\n

There is hardly a more renowned book of travel than Marco Polo<\/strong>\u2019s. There is a plethora of manuscript versions, but none can equal the one in Book of Wonders<\/strong><\/a>, which today is in the hands of the National Library in Paris<\/strong>. Marco Polo\u2019s account melds fantasy and reality.\u00a0Important painters like the Boucicaut Master<\/strong> and the Bedford Master<\/strong>\u2019s collaborators created this illuminated manuscript in Parisian workshops at the beginning of the 15th century, endowing it with 84 narrative miniatures. Owners like Count John the Fearless<\/em>, the Duke of Berry<\/strong> and, from 1523, the French kings, testify to the importance attached to this magnificent manuscript through the centuries to the present day.<\/p>\n

\"Marco<\/a>
Marco Polo has written the most famous travelogue of the Middle Ages. The Book of Wonders, today in the Biblioth\u00e8que Nationale de France in Paris, is his finest artistic creation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With the account of Marco Polo\u2019s travels, part of the Book of Wonders has become accessible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Other famous travelogues from this great illuminated manuscript<\/strong> still await their facsimile editions debut.<\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/h2>\n

It is incredible how the whole of Middle Ages can be explored simply by browsing a book. Thanks to the relentless efforts of the publishers we can nowadays experience Medieval times through the pages of a facsimile, without losing any valuable lesson that era has to teach.<\/p>\n
