The smallest round book
Any miniature book is a work of art, and a miniature round book is a real masterpiece 💥 💣
The Prayer Book “Codex Rotundus” is a unique specimen in form and size. The round-shaped book contains 266 pages and closes with three fasteners that are monogrammed using the letters of the Gothic alphabet. The diameter of the book is only 9 cm and the spine of the book is 3 cm 📖
The name of the author of the miniature is unknown, but it is likely that the prayer book was made in 1480 in Bruges (Belgium). Most likely, the book was commissioned by Adolphe Cleve (1425-1492), Duke of the Burgundian line of Valois. “Codex Rotundus” was intended for personal use: you could take it with you to church or use it when traveling far from home⛪️
On the pages of the prayer book there are three full-size miniatures and about 30 capital letters, which reflect different scenes from the Bible, episodes from the life of Christ and the saints.
Today the original “Codex Rotundus” is kept in the library of the city of Hildesheim in Germany 🇩 🇪The first experimental printing house will make unique books for you.
