About This Item
Full-size color reproduction, the facsimile attempts to replicate the look-and-feel and physical features of the original document. Limited to 700 copies; this is #398. 8vo in full decorative leather with accompanying cloth bound commentary (in English and German) by Cynthia Hahn in a fine marbled paper covered hard slipcase. Excellent, like-new condition.
The Vita Kiliani, containing the Passio Kiliani et Margaretae is a unique example in the field of early medieval illuminated manuscripts from 975. It is one of the very first "libelli", a "small book" containing episodes from the life of a Saint, in a book form that was particularly popular during the Ottonian period.
The commentary volume (382 pp.) includes a preface by W. Totok and a codicological, iconographical and art historical introduction (in English) by C. Hahn. It also features a transcription, a translation into German, and a liturgical introduction by H. Himmel.
Ships in a box packed with care.
