Scandinavian influences appear in Russian manuscripts (monsters and interlacings of initials); and one of the most remarkable monuments of Slavic miniature painting is the Servian Psalter of Munich, in which the paintings are executed by an impressionistic artist, who uses contrasting colours instead of pen designs. Despite its limitations, the art of illumination is one of the most charming ever invented; it exacts the same qualifications and produced almost as powerful effects as painting; it even calls for a delicacy of touch all its own. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09620a.htm      Medieval manuscripts, Paulus Swaen Old maps Internet Auction, antique maps, globes, atlases. The collecting of single leaves and cuttings dates back to at least the eighteenth century when many miniatures were separated from their texts to be appreciated and displayed independently as small works of art by celebrated collectors of paintings and drawings. Because they were expensive and spectacular works of art, the ownership of these manuscripts was limited mainly to royalty, nobility and the very wealthy. Even textual pieces with minimal painting are highly valued as some of the best examples of the waning art of calligraphy. http://www.swaen.com/medieval.html      Illuminated Manuscripts A se­quence of the great il­lu­mi­nat­ed pages is fol­lowed by an ab­sorb­ing ac­count of its re­la­tion­ship to ear­li­er and con­tem­po­rary works of art. Author de Hamel, for­mer­ly with the De­part­ment of West­ern Manu­scripts at the Brit­ish Li­brary, has worked at Sotheby’s for many years ex­am­in­ing and cat­a­log­ing manu­scripts. This book is the catalog for the exhibition of the Robert Lehman Collection, one of the finest private collections of Italian manuscripts ever assembled after the First World War. http://www.paperinkarts.com/en-us/dept_23.html      Armenian Miniatures A comparison of both manuscripts shows that the Anonymous Painter developed some artistic features typical of Grigor Tatevatsi, as well as the evident similarities of miniatures of the Anonymous Painter of Syuniq, especially in the portraits of the evangelists with those of Grigor Tatevatsi. So far as the manuscript does not contain any indication as to the place where it was created, we reject the name "Grigor of Tatev" accepted by certain scholars and suggest the name "Anonymous Painter of Syuniq". Accepting this chronological evidence that a department of fine arts functioned at Tatev University, we may suppose that a considerable number of illuminated manuscripts were created there in the XIV - XV centuries and quite probably, Tatev had its own school of miniature painting. http://www.armsite.com/miniatures      Islamic Medical Manuscripts: Glosssary of Terms An inscription written at the end of a treatise (or a section of a treatise), in which the copyist records the date on which he completed the copy and sometimes also his name and in what town he was working.

The reason for the chasm between the styles is the fact that Western art is fundamentally pictoral, naturalistic, and representational, and Arabic art is not (James 8). The ones that had decoration obeyed a very strict design that was characteristic of much of Arabic art; the marginalia were primarily of a geometric nature. http://www.win.ua.ac.be/~pavp/genea/kirby/global1.html      Pre-1600 Manuscripts From the collection of Wilfred Merton; given to Eric Millar (the earliest manuscript in his collection), then as a bequest to the British Museum.

The works are, generally, attributed by the style of the script and rubrication (ornamentation), which are quite unique to their time and place of origin and can readily be recognized. The reading of the Holy text was also considered a form of meditation in which the scribe savored Divine wisdom directly from his books, which retained the mystical aura of miraculous objects at this period. http://www.historicpages.com/texts/mshist.htm      On Illuminated Manuscripts Thus, in short, an illuminated manuscript is generally a book created no later then the historical period referred to as the Renassaince, usually hand written and painted.
