Description
In this exclusive lot, we present the complete collection of original copies made on 100% natural parchment, produced to date by the Spanish publisher Scriptorium. Nine works, each more spectacular, beautiful, interesting, and luxurious than the last. A lot suitable only for a select few institutions, libraries, bibliophiles, collectors, or investors worldwide.
The natural parchment edition (not parchment paper or parchment paper, but 100% natural lamb’s parchment made in the traditional way, without chemical treatments) is extremely complex and unique, making each copy an original reproduction of the medieval manuscript. This is further enhanced by the fact that these copies have undergone an accelerated aging process of approximately 100 years, a laborious and artisanal process, resulting in a spectacular work that appears to be a medieval manuscript. The use of parchment, a natural organic material, as a support, along with the manual processes applied to each copy, including the flat and raised goldwork, according to the illuminations and as found in the original codex, makes each copy unique. Exclusive facsimiles, handcrafted on natural parchment, recovering the beauty and authenticity of the ancient illuminated manuscripts. An exceptional gift for the finest libraries, collectors, and bibliophiles, a delight for the senses that will endure for centuries.
