Description

Flemish Apocalypse

Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris

The Bibliothèque nationale de France manuscript is unique amongst illustrated Apocalypse codices. It features the artwork of exceptionally talented miniaturists who recreate the illustrations customary in this type of text, whilst incorporating motifs found in no other artistic tradition. The spectacular visionary nature and enigmatic atmosphere of each miniature are the perfect complement to the text.

Some of the features peculiar to its miniatures make this codex a faithful reflection of the Flemish thinking of that period.

This manuscript constitutes the culmination of pre-Van Eyck realism in terms of both form and contents.

Flemish Apocalypse
Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris



“I am happy to tell you that I received the Flemish Apocalypse on Friday. The book is absolutely beautiful. It is beyond my expectations. Needless to say that I enjoy it very much.”

Frank C. – Canada



“The books arrived late Monday evening and are fabulous! The quality of the printing is excellent. The Apocalypse is truly a historical gem and I am proud to have it in my library. The English study guide for the Apocalypse is superb!”

David B. – United States



“The package has just arrived, and everybody is delighted by the beauty of the original and the workmanship of the quasi-real!”

Steven V. – Belgium




“The edition of “Flemish Apocalypse” is absolutely outstanding. Some of my friends and connoisseurs of exceptional works are simply overwhelmed by its beauty. It is a joy that repeats itself every time I take this book at hand. A special pleasure is obviously the fact that I speak Flemish and can read the ancient text. Congratulations for a job extremely well done!!!”

Alfred W. – Belgium
