Renaissance Manuscript

A Renaissance manuscript is a handwritten document produced during the European Renaissance (14th to 17th centuries), a period of renewed interest in art, science, and classical learning. These manuscripts often contain illuminated texts, illustrations, and detailed decorations, reflecting the craftsmanship and intellectual pursuits of the time. Created by scribes and artists before the widespread use of printing presses, they were valuable, often commissioned by wealthy patrons or religious institutions to preserve knowledge, literature, and religious texts. Renaissance manuscripts are important artifacts that showcase the period’s artistic, cultural, and scholarly achievements.
