The Mira calligraphiae monumenta, a remarkable masterpiece created by the court of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, showcases a breathtaking fusion of two artistic disciplines: calligraphy and miniature painting. This extraordinary project originated when Rudolf's predecessor, Ferdinand I, commissioned renowned master calligrapher Georg Bocskay to conceive a model book of calligraphy. Bocskay, a virtuoso scribe, assembled an extensive collection of contemporary and ancient scripts, showcasing his exceptional skill and knowledge.
Years later, at Rudolf's request, renowned miniaturist Joris Hoefnagel adorned each manuscript page with intricate and captivating botanical illustrations. The harmonious blend of words and images, presented on a miniature scale, constitutes a remarkable achievement of the Central European Renaissance. Nature Illuminated presents forty-one pages from the original codex, captivating those who appreciate and collect exquisite books. Hoefnagel's imagery and inventive vision will leave readers in awe, while the accompanying commentary provides insights into the intricate details of his exquisitely crafted illuminations.
