Die illuminierten Handschriften in Kärnten

Eisler, Robert, 1882-1949 · 1907 · Leipzig : Hiersemann · 28 pictures

Die illuminierten Handschriften in Kärnten is a 1907 catalogue of illuminated medieval manuscripts from Carinthia, written by art historian Robert Eisler and published in Leipzig by Hiersemann for scholars of book art. Its pictures are black-and-white photographs of manuscript pages showing decorated initial letters, dense Gothic text blocks, and framed scenes of seated figures, enthroned rulers, and angels set in gold-toned borders with marginal foliage and animals, useful to a designer for historic letterforms, border ornament, and medieval page layout.
