For Sale- Not the usual - Medieval illuminated manuscri, by Coach on Jul 24, 2012 23:41:22 GMT 1, Need to raise some funds.
So I am looking to sell some of my collection of medieval illuminated manuscripts.
I know this is not the normal sort of thing offered for sale here, but quite a few people have expressed an interest in the past.
All pre date the invention of the printing press. Most are from the 1400's, a few from the 1500's. (I have one from around 1250, but it's not for sale).
All beautifully framed. The non musical ones are mostly from Books of Hours, made for wealthy non clerical people to refer to throughout the day. As such, they are quite small - some smaller than others. The more ornate, the more wealthy the patron. I have a copy of Anne of Cleeves entire book of hours, and it is extraordinarily beautiful!
Prices range from ยฃ150 to ยฃ1000. The ones with miniatures are the most expensive. Ornate borders are mid range, and the plain ones, with just illuminated letters are at the lower end of the price range.
Pictures really do not do these justice - more pics available on request.
If anything of interest, let me know and I will quote a price/give dimensions etc.
These are a few examples
I have quiet a few more - including quite a few more musical ones.
Please let me know if of any interest. they really are beautiful, and I have always found it breathtaking to think that they pre date Shakespear, Elizabith I etc.
Cheers

And the some of the pics are a bit blurred - better pics ab#vailable, if serious buyer.
The dull look to the glass is because its non refelctive museum etc - has a scored look to it.

For Sale- Not the usual - Medieval illuminated manuscri, by Coach on Jul 25, 2012 20:30:07 GMT 1, They are beautiful! I especially like those last two. What would something like that go for?
Thanks. The manuscripts with miniatures are the most valuable/expensive, as you might expect.
So they are at the upper end of the price range I quoted.
The quality of the miniature and the illumination is different on each one.
The better quality one would be ยฃ1k. The other I would let go for ยฃ800.

For Sale- Not the usual - Medieval illuminated manuscri, by Coach on Jul 30, 2012 20:31:59 GMT 1, Some interest.
Easiest thing, if anyone is interested in buying a framed medieval manuscript, is let me know how much you might want to spend, and I can give you some pics of how good a manuscript that will pay for.
These really are beautiful things.
Thanks

For Sale- Not the usual - Medieval illuminated manuscri, by manuscriptlover on Feb 14, 2013 14:05:05 GMT 1, Dear Coach,
I just recently found your message stating that you would like to sell some of your illuminated manuscripts. As a manuscript scholar and collector, I am always on the lookout for nice additions to my collections. I am especially interested in the items with miniatures/historiated initials, if they are still available, but anything you may have not yet sold but are willing to sell could potentially be of interest to me. Could you let me know what you still have available for sale, preferably with a picture, and the prices of these items? You can contact me through this email-address: rob_duckers@emerson.edu. Many thanks in advance.
