FULL-COLOUR ART HISTORY DELUXE EDITION BOOK BILINGUAL EDITION: English &amp; French Signed and dated in 1313 by its illuminator, Colin Chadelve, this Apocalypse is a unique creation apparently designed to cater for its patron's demanding requirements. The images in this manuscript are extraordinary in terms of both their abundance and the quality of their pictorial technique. This codex features the longest iconographic cycle of the Book of Revelation of the entire Middle Ages. The radiant colours, contrasting gold hues and lavish illustrations of the Apocalypse and Hell also transform this codex into a unique treasure. Today's privileged readers can observe the merciless punishments meted out to the damned in Hell thanks to the wealth of details in the artist's representations of the most horrific and surprising tortures. Don't miss out the spectacular scenes from the Book of Revelation like The Dragon enchained for a thousand years, The first eschatological combat, The judgement of souls, The great Harlot in Hell, Babylon ablaze, Heavenly Jerusalem, The Tree of Life, etc. Medieval demons clad in knight's clothes, brandishing swords, using shields, spears, helmets, etc. fight and torment people. Monsters mentioned in the Book of revelation break loose from hell to harass and torment their human victims.

One of the most beatiful illuminated Medieval Bibles ever.\nThe pages of the Bible Moralisée of Naples study book dive us into the universe of this superb work completed in 1350 and written in French under Robert the Wise request. The manuscript, preserved nowadays at the French National Library, is considered as a masterpiece of the Italian medieval illumination.\nThis comment volume, which has 376 pages of the highest quality bound in black fabric with French book jacket, includes the full colour copy of the images from the Bible, where gold prevails. The illustrations are divided in two groups, a first one with 128 Old Testament miniatures and a second one with 76 New Testament full page images, that follow the style of Giotto’s paintings.\nBut mainly this book includes Yves Christe and Marianne Besseyre’s professional report on each individual composition, highlighting their originality and history. Therefore, this is a very well deserved recognition to this unique work, that leads us through a century of dynastic history between France and Italy.
