site presents text manuscripts from the Middle
Ages and Renaissance offered for sale by Les
Enluminures. For inclusion on the site, each
manuscript must have an interesting or unusual
text. It might also be illuminated, but the
pictures alone would not warrant inclusion
on the site. There is a powerful search engine.
Search for detailed descriptions of “all
manuscripts” presented chronologically
or of different types of texts organized by
theme: history
and literature, science
and medicine, religion,
music,
law
and philosophy. Select a more specific
subject, if you wish, from the drop-down box:
e.g., astronomy, Bibles, calligraphy, humanism,
scholasticism, travel, etc.
The advanced
search feature locates dated
manuscripts, their countries of origin,
languages, illustrated manuscripts, and
original bindings. This feature also permits
users to search by century or to search
only manuscripts for sale (default) or the
entire database. Sold manuscripts are included
in the archives
for further reference. Every manuscript
has a reference number at the bottom of
the entry, and users can search by reference
number. Click on price
to find price ranges from less than 10,000
€ to greater than 100,000 €. If
you are looking for specific types of texts
or want to receive automatic updates, please
register.
