It's some beautiful images of illuminated manuscripts. Enjoy!
thank you, I did not know it and found it fascinating...
(a favorite book of mine in the past was "Manual de zoologia fantastica" by Borges)

To tell the truth, I used the word "illuminated" in a somewhat extended way. I was not thinking about medieval illuminated manuscripts, rather a contemporary extension of the meaning: how a book could gain by adding to its text figures, maps, photographs (I print in B&W), original drawings ... ? It's some kind of Book Art project!

And I'd like to hear about your suggestions, to find new ideas...
