Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This book is the first comprehensive publication dealing with a group of outstanding illuminated manuscripts from the Cistercian monastery of Sticna, the ancient Sitticum, in Slovenia. What is remarkable and particularly fascinating is to find such excellent craftsmanship and sophistication in a foundation so distant from the main Western European centres of the Cisterian Order, and yet so closely connected to these.Natasa Golob, Professor of Art History at the University of Ljubljana, reconstructs the medieval Sticna collection and analyses in great detail the 32 manuscripts and 6 fragments preserved in Ljubljana, Vienna, and Wolfenbuttel. She points out significant relationships between scribes and illuminators - monks, clergy and lay brothers - and brings important new information to present-day research on the medieval library and the monastic workshop.
