"At the start of this work, it's only fitting to remember the words of Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale, who discovered the Très Riches Heures in 1856. While writing the catalog of his manuscripts-works that would soon make up the exceptional collection of the library of the Musée Condé-the duke was full of praise for one of his most amazing acquisitions: "This book occupies a significant place in the history of art; I dare say it has no rival.""
"Earlier this year, the newly restored Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry went on display at the Château de Chantilly. This accompanying volume builds on that work, offering a wealth of new information about the manuscript, including research presented during the restoration project. For anyone interested in medieval manuscripts or medieval art more broadly, it will be an invaluable resource."
Includes a high-quality facsimile of the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry and twenty scholarly papers offering fresh insights into its art, history, and production. Presents detailed accounts of the manuscript's recent restoration and research performed during the restoration project. Records the manuscript's public display at the Château de Chantilly after restoration. Reproduces Henri d'Orléans's 1856 praise describing the manuscript as occupying a significant place in the history of art. Provides information and analysis valuable to readers interested in medieval manuscripts and medieval art more broadly, and points toward a digitized version of the manuscript.
