Hi all,

One of the most fascinating but hardest to obtain
books about the art of illuminating has always been
the Gottingen Model Book. It is a fifteenth-century
manual about illumination. A facsimile was published
in 1972, but has been out of print for years. I've
looked forever for a copy of my own, with no success
(unless I wanted to steal the one in my college
library).

Imagine my delight when I discovered that this book in
now available online, in its entirety, with English
translation. It's an amazing book! You can view it at:

The Gutenberg Bible is at this site, too.

Regards,
Sara
