A magnificent code

By Biblioteca Teresiana

This manuscript, visually very
impressive, is probably the most
well-known of the entire library of the monastery of Saint Benedict in
Polirone. It has been exhibited several times also in international exhibitions.
It contains magnificent illustrations by two miniaturists who have different
styles and different methodological approaches. This manuscript is evidence of
the high quality of the activities carried out in the “scriptorium”.
