Noah's Ark Shell and Sneezewort, 1561-1562; illumination added 1591-1596. Creator: Joris Hoefnagel

Noah's Ark Shell and Sneezewort; Mira calligraphiae monumenta, 1561-1562; illumination added 1591-1596.
Additional info: In the 1500s, as printing became the most common method of producing books, intellectuals increasingly valued the inventiveness of scribes and the aesthetic qualities of writing. From 1561 to 1562, Georg Bocskay, court secretary to the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, created this Model Book of Calligraphy to demonstrate his technical mastery of the immense range of writing styles known to him. Emperor Rudolph II later commissioned Joris Hoefnagel to illuminate Bocskay's model book. Hoefnagel added fruit, flowers, and insects to nearly every page, composing them so as to enhance the unity and balance of the page's design. It was one of the most unusual collaborations between scribe and painter in the history of manuscript illumination. Because of Hoefnagel's interest in painting objects of nature, his detailed images complement Rudolph II's celebrated Kunstkammer, a cabinet of curiosities that contained bones, shells, fossils, and other natural specimens.

EDITORS COMMENTS

Rarely seen pages from 'Mira calligraphiae monumenta', created in two parts: an original manuscript written by Georg Bocskay between 1561-1562, and beautifully illuminated by Joris Hoefnagel with added illustrations of nature's wonders, including a shell and Sneezewort. A testament to the artistic collaboration between scribe and painter during the Renaissance era.
