Description: Los Angeles: Getty Publications, 2015. 24cm., pbk., 112pp., 96 color illus. Summary: Known for their stunning displays of artistry and technique, Italian illuminated manuscripts have long been coveted by collectors around the world. The J. Paul Getty Museum holds the most recently formed institutional collection of its kind in the United States, yet it spans more than eight centuries and refl ects many of the extraordinary achievements of the Italian tradition. Made up of whole manuscripts as well as leaves and cuttings, the Getty collection of Italian illumination contains nearly sixty works and includes the Montecassino Breviary, the Ferrarese Gualenghi-d’Este Hours and the Roman gradual illuminated by Antonio da Monza for Santa Maria in Aracoeli. Other acquisitions are one of the fi nest Bolognese Bibles of the 13th century, three leaves from the Laudario of Sant’Agnese and a missal once owned by the antipope John XXIII. This volume presents many examples of Italian painting and illumination, some by noted artists such as Girolamo da Cremona, Pacino de Bonaguida and Pisanello, others attributed to artists known only by their works, such as the Master of Gerona.
