Description: ~ILLUMINATION~ Vintage Book Collection (box picture for illustration only - not supplied) An illuminated book or manuscript is one in which the text is supplemented by the addition of decoration, such as decorated initials, borders and illustrations. In the strict definition of the term, an illuminated manuscript only refers to those decorated with gold or silver. However, in both common usage and modern scholarship, the term is now used to refer to any decorated or illustrated manuscript from the Western or Islamic traditions. The Middle Ages is recognised as the most important period in the history of illumination although the influence of these great Craftsman can be seen throughout the history of book illustration.
