Dürer’s godfather! Written by Stephan Fridolin, a Franciscan in Nuremberg, illustrated by Michael Wolgemut. The text narrates 100 events in the life of Christ that are accompanied by 91 woodcut illustrations. In his preface, the author stated that the illustrations were meant to reinforce the biblical lessons in the minds of the audience, especially those who were illiterate (typical "didactic" intent of medieval times). . . . . #middleages #medieval #illumination #manuscript #medievalart #manuscripts #illuminatedmanuscripts #illuminatedcodex #oldbooks #bibliophile #illustration #nature #spirituality #miniature #bookart #kunst #enlightenment #wisdom #alchemical #hermeticalchemy #aristotle #infinity #books #philosophy #arthistory #arthistorynerd #dailyart
