Course Description:

Illuminated Manuscripts

Travel back to a time when books were sacred objects and beauty was born of ink, gold, and devotion. In this illuminating lecture, we’ll explore the world of medieval manuscript illumination—hand-crafted works that blended text with artistry, transmitting knowledge, power, and faith across generations.

From monastic scriptoria to royal commissions, discover how these vibrant pages came to life and what they reveal about medieval life, spirituality, and storytelling. We’ll decode the symbolism of shimmering gold leaf, intricate marginalia, and the rich pigments that have endured for centuries. Whether created for religious ritual or aristocratic prestige, each manuscript reflects a world where craftsmanship met imagination.

Perfect for lovers of art history, literature, and hidden treasures—you’ll never look at a book the same way again.
