4000800
Facsimile di un codice e relativo commentario
Facsimile reproduction of the ms. Douce 134, kept in the Bodleian Library in Oxford, contains the text of the Livre de la Vigne nostre Seigneur (Book of the Vineyard of our Lord), a treatise in Frankish on the Antichrist, the Last Judgement, Hell and Paradise, which stresses the fact that the theme of the pains of hell has contributed to biblical exegesis, sparking the imagination of the artists who supported its message. The manuscript is also enriched with biblical and patristic Latin quotations. In order to fully grasp its meaning and beauty, a commentary of more than 150 pages is provided for the reader, developed under the scientific direction of Tullio Gregory, with essays by Martin Kauffmann, Jean-Robert Armogathe, Francesco Santi, Marina Falla Castelfranchi and Chiara Franceschini and 40 out-of-text colour plates.
