A masterpiece of Carolingian art.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Facsimile bound in garnet leather with gilt lettering and raised bands, 22 x 28 cm. 22 beautifully and richly illuminated pages in gold ink with large miniatures, plus 20 blank pages. Written in Latin and produced in France.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Includes a hardcover study book with illustrated dust jacket and ribbon bookmark. 23 x 28.7 cm. Texts by Elisa Ruiz Garc\u00eda and Soledad de Silva y Ver\u00e1stequi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Both are presented in a slipcase of wood and illustrated cloth, 26.5 x 32 x 5 cm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Limited edition of 505 copies, without Roman numerals, and authenticated with a notarized certificate. Copy in perfect condition, new, unused.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the Carolingian dynasty, the arts and literature experienced unprecedented development. The emperors maintained libraries and collected manuscripts that were as rare as they were precious, richly illuminated and of extraordinary luxury.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Sacramentary is a liturgical book that compiles the prayers, formulas, and rites performed by the officiant during the sacraments. The copy belonging to Charles the Bald (840-877), King of the West Franks, crowned the fifth Carolingian emperor in 875, and currently held in the National Library of France, is an incomplete manuscript that was probably commissioned by him for his coronation as King of Lotharingia. It was produced around 869-870 by the court school of Charles the Bald, likely in Metz.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The splendor of Charlemagne&#8217;s court school is re-emerged in the works created by his grandson, Charles the Bald. The motifs of the images, developed in Reims and Metz from forms of late antiquity, are reborn; once again the Tours school, long since ruined by the Norman invasions, projects its splendor onto the pages of the Carolingian codices. A mature, perfectly developed art flourishes, encompassing all that was produced in the ninth century during the \u201cCarolingian Renaissance.\u201d The types of images, as well as the themes of representations created, will influence the art of the Middle Ages for centuries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The extraordinary sumptuousness of the miniatures that decorate the pages of this Sacramentary is found no other manuscript from the Court school, and moreover, it has no parallel in all of Carolingian art. Even in the illumination of subsequent centuries, the canon of the Mass appears only rarely as luxuriously and richly illustrated with splendid creations as in this masterpiece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The paintings that decorate this exceptional manuscript are characterized by a superb depiction of movement, combined with the monumentality of its compositions. It is distinguished by its lavish decoration, inspired by motifs from antiquity and the exquisite contemporary work of goldsmithing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Its gold ink writing stands out, with gilded initials that pop against purple backgrounds. It is a magnificent example of the graphic masterpieces that emerged from the school of the Court of Charles the Bald, born from the combination of different scripts used decoratively, following the example of the great calligraphers of Tours and Metz.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sumptuousness of this codex makes it one of the most prized examples of illuminated manuscripts from the High Middle Ages, as well as a masterpiece of Carolingian art.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Free shipping for this item<span title=\"Gastos de env\u00edo por cuenta del comprador, seg\u00fan pedido y destino.\">. <\/span><span title=\"Cons\u00faltenos cualquier duda, as\u00ed como por cualquier otro facs\u00edmile que est\u00e9 buscando.\"><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comprarmejor.es\/en\/contact\/\">Ask us<\/a>\u00a0<span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"es\" data-phrase-index=\"0\" data-number-of-phrases=\"1\"><span class=\"Q4iAWc\">any questions you may have, indicating the article reference.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span id=\"result_box\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\"><span title=\"\u00a1Un 5 estrellas en toda gran Biblioteca!\"><span lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\"><span title=\"En su caja se reproduce el afiche de su estreno en 1853 en La Fenice de Venecia.\"><span lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\"><span title=\"Carpeta con 4 diferentes hojas facs\u00edmiles para enmarcar del Beato de Li\u00e9bana c\u00f3dice de San Mill\u00e1n de la Cogolla, preparadas para decorar ese rinc\u00f3n especial de su hogar con una imagen de una obra manuscrita de hace m\u00e1s de 1.000 a\u00f1os, m\u00e1xime a\u00fan cuando se trata de hojas\"><span lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\"><span title=\"C\u00f3mics de la serie DragonLance, publicada en Espa\u00f1a por Ediciones Zinco desde 1990, seg\u00fan la versi\u00f3n original en ingl\u00e9s editada desde 1998 por DC Comics.\"><span lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\"><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Facsimile edition of Latin manuscript 1141 from the National Library of France, \u201cSacramentary of Charles the Bald,\u201d from the 9th century (ca. 869-870).<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">A masterpiece of Carolingian art.<\/span><\/span><\/span><span title=\"Vea los excelentes detalles en las fotograf\u00edas.\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":105613,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2250],"product_tag":[3975,5138,4002],"class_list":{"0":"post-48409","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-other-facsimiles","7":"product_tag-bnf-en","8":"product_tag-carlos-en","9":"product_tag-orbis-en","10":"description-off","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"taxable","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sacramentary of Charles the Bald, 9th Century<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Latin manuscript 1141 from the National Library of France, \u201cSacramentary of Charles the Bald,\u201d from the s.
