A
Miniature Paintings Gallery
·As
a publishing house specializing in the publication of facsimiles
of medieval codexes, our ambitious vocation has been to create
a varied catalogue that is informed by the ideal of the Renaissance
library. To attain this we incorporate the artistic, scientific,
and religious materials that bring to light the knowledge
achieved by humanity through the Early Middle Ages, reflecting
its spirit and thought.
·This objective is achieved by reproducing,
with absolute fidelity to the original, the most profusely
illustrated codexes of the highest artistic quality by the
most prestigious royal painters and illuminators, whose paintings
on panel or parchment are found conserved in the most important
museums and libraries in the world. Inks, hand-applied gold,
parchment, and both artisanal and new techniques are brought
together to assure that the resulting work is a faithful reflection
of that of the scriptorium artists, with a final result that
makes it difficult to distinguish between the original and
the facsimile.
