Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta: A Sixteenth-Century Calligraphic Manuscript Inscribed by Georg Bocskay and Illuminated by Joris Hoefnagel

Tarih ve Eleştiri

Now back in print, &;the ultimate booklover&;s gift book&;&;Los Angeles Times In 1561&;62 the master calligrapher Georg Bocskay (died 1575), imperial secretary to the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, created Mira calligraphiae monumenta (Model Book of Calligraphy) as a demonstration of his own preeminence among scribes. Some thirty years later, Ferdinand&;s grandson, the Emperor Rudolf II, commissioned Europe&;s last great manuscript illuminator, Joris Hoefnagel (1542&;1601), to embellish the work. The resulting book is at once a treasury of extraordinary beauty and a landmark in the cultural debate between word and image.   Bocskay assembled a vast selection of contemporary and historical scripts for a work that summarized all that had been learned about writing to date&;a testament to the universal power of the written word. Hoefnagel, desiring to prove the superiority of his art over Bocskay&;s words, employed every resource of illusionism, color, and form to devise all manner of brilliant grotesques, from flowers, fruit, insects, and animals to monsters and masks.   Unavailable for nearly a decade, this gorgeous volume features over 180 color illustrations, as well as scholarly commentary and biographies of both artists, to inspire scholars, bibliophiles, graphic designers, typographers, and calligraphers.
