Also forwarded from the Rialto




The Royal Library in the Hague http://www.kb.nl has lately received a very
valuable 15th century, illustrated "devotion" book. The value of this
manuscript has been estimated abt. 6 million Euro !!! and is a private gift
from an anonymous donor. In this prayerbook there are miniatures and other
decorations, made by 3 important painters from the 15th century. One of
these illustrators is Master of Maria of Bourgondie, the Rembrandt of the
medieval bookdecorators.

Right now the book is exposed for the public in the Koninklijke
Bibliotheek in the Hague (NL), but can also be browsed online !!!!
