5.0 out of 5 stars
As close to the precise look and feel of an ancient manuscript as reasonably possible,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life of St Edmund, King and Martyr (facsimile) (Hardcover)
The Life of St. Edmund King and Martyr: A Facsimile is a stunningly beautiful recreation of the classical illuminated manuscript detailing the Anglo-Saxon King St. Edmund's life, as once penned by a fifteenth-century abbey monk. The 120 illustrations, script, and appearance of the original work is stunningly recreated, along with a list of illustrations and an introduction. Notably absent is any separate transliteration of the text into modern vernacular prose; the reader is left to his or her own devices to either read the text as-is or seek a translation of the archaic English. A truly stunning compendium, that is as close to the precise look and feel of an ancient manuscript as reasonably possible.
