The Depiction of Biblical Stories in Renaissance Manuscripts
November 19, 2015 – January 3, 2016
Closed: 24th and 31st December 2015
Invitation - Opening ceremony - Photogallery
The exhibition features selected music manuscripts, hymn books and graduals from the collections of the National Library of the CR. These manuscripts were used for singing on the choirs of town churches in the 16th centuries. They were made to order of wealthy and educated burgers, craft guilds as well as representatives of higher and lower nobility, who had sometimes their portraits, coat-of-arrms or guild signs depicted on individual folios.
The display is intended to show different illuminations of choral manuscripts from the point of view of countless number of iconographic motifs, which themselves represent a sampler of biblical iconography.
