Beautiful book, a first edition, published in 1943.
Written in French.

A study on illuminated manuscripts of the Medieval period--particularly focusing on religious books.

15 presentation pages and 80 pages of illustrations, many in full color.  
Gilt ink on color pages and gilt on spine.

Comes in original presentation folio (that does have some wear).
The book itself is in amazing condition, having been protected.
It's covered in a vibrant cinnamon colored linen.

Measures 9.75" x 12.75."
Very nice piece!

Enjoy!
