Originally published in 1843–1845 as Palaeographia Sacra Pictoria, the book showcases Westwood's meticulous hand-copied facsimiles of ancient biblical manuscripts created between the 4th and 16th centuries. It examines Greek, Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Irish, Hebrew, Persian, and Armenian sacred texts, pairing paleographical history with descriptions of each manuscript's calligraphy and decoration. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover \/ Very Good","offer_id":71916458475773,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/8365\/5165\/files\/Westwood-ArtIlluminated-HC-1st-Bracken.jpg?v=1794628719","url":"https:\/\/thornburncollectibles.com\/products\/the-art-of-illuminated-manuscripts-j-o-westwood-bracken-1st-hc-1988","provider":"Thornburn Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
