Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st. Cloth, 272 pages, illustrations (chiefly colour); 31 cm. Published on the occasion of the exhibition held at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, 27 October 1994 to 22 January 1995; and The Pierpont Morgan Library, New York, 15 February to 7 May 1995. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Age toning, top edge lightly soiled. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by arrangement. Richly illustrated with colour plates. "This book documents the first comprehensive exhibition of Italian Renaissance illuminations from collections in Europe and the United States. In the century between 1450 and 1550, Italian miniaturists, in collaboration with scribes and bookbinders, produced a series of masterpieces of book illumination which are still too little known and appreciated. Though working on a smaller scale than the great painters and sculptors of the Renaissance, these illuminators created works characterized by unrivaled standards of quality in materials (including frequent use of gold) and design, and by imaginative symbolism and breathtaking creativity. 137 manuscripts, printed books with hand-painted illustrations and single pages are illustrated in full color, ranging from small prayer books to large choir books, and from Greek, Roman, and Italian literature to collections of fables and historical treatises. Many of these volumes were commissioned by powerful wealthy, and discriminating patrons who included members of the ruling Italian families as well as cardinals and popes and many of whom were also prominent bibliophiles. Among other fascinating issues, the mechanics of patronage, patterns of production, and formation of libraries are discussed in three essays and in the catalogue entries - the latter divided into eight thematic sections - written by noted specialists in the history of Renaissance manuscripts and books. And, of course, we are introduced to the artists themselves - their working habits, characteristic styles, and interrelationships." - Publisher. CONTENTS: Patrons, libraries and illuminators in the Italian Renaissance, by Jonathan J.G. Alexander; The Italian Renaissance miniature, by Giordana Mariani Canova; The hand-illumination of printed books in Italy 1465-1515, by Lilian Armstrong; Catalogue. Liturgical and biblical manuscripts; Renaissance patrons and libraries; Classical and humanist texts; 'All'antica'; The hand-illuminated printed book; Illuminators and their methods of work; Choir books; The sixteenth century; Glossary.

Book First Edition
Hardcover (Original Cloth). Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Titles, introduction, notes, bibliography & illustration lists to front. In Illuminated Manuscripts of every period, on page after page of flowing text, a special place of honor was reserved for the Decorated Letter or Initial. In this space the artist would insert a veritable jewel, and the text page would spring to life with vibrant reds, radiant blues, delicate shades of green and yellow, and almost always, precious metals such as gold. There were roselike motifs inspired by Byzantine floral ornamentation, while animals of every sort played an important part in the adornment of Romanesque initials. The Decorated Letter is filled with pages of the most beautiful, often humorous, and always imaginative initials, drawn from the widest range of manuscripts. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 119 pages. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact.
