Description
Painted pages filled with delicate miniatures
On a total of 30 pages countless individual scenes are arranged in tapestry-like picture strips. Delicately painted miniatures illustrate the captivating text. Fine-limbed figures with softly curled hair and clad in contemporary fashion act with expressive moving gestures before colourful grounds. Set in two columns, the text is written in a legible script, in spite of its small size, and broken up by coloured initials.
