Commissioned by Philip II of Spain to the brilliant Giulio Clovio
One of the treasures of El Escorial until Napoleon stole it
• Commissioned by Philip II of Spain to Giulio Clovio, known to his contemporaries as the Michelangelo of illuminated manuscripts. Among his best known works are the Atlas of Charles V and the Farnese Book of Hours.
• In December 1815 it was purchased from a Monsieur Trochon of the rue Caumartin in Paris by Samuel Woodburn, London; before 1817 it was sold to Thomas Grenville; after his death in 1846 it was received by the British Museum as part of the Grenville Library, 1847; transferred to the Department of Manuscripts of the British Library in 1890.
• Charles V is commonly considered a great ruler, if for no other reason than that he could state that in his realm the sun never set. Twelve of his victories are the subject of a series of luxurious miniatures.
• The mighty deeds of Charles V exalted as triumphs in the miniatures include events casting dark shadows on the emperor’s fame.
• Single edition limited to 500 copies, numbered and individually authenticated by notary public.
