This delightful book is a collection of exotic texts, including the Alexander Romance and Marco Polo. The various parts were illustrated at different times, by different hands; the pictures here are all from the Alexander Romance and were likely done around 1360 to 1380.
I love the little figures strewn across the bottoms of many pages.I guess these are Harpies?No idea which story this is supposed to be.Have you ever seen such a delightful drawing of a man being drawn and quartered?
Daily life.And everyone's favorite theme, a naked man pushing a bunch of nuns in a wheelbarrow. What?
