Various Authors - The Legends of Saint Margaret and Saint Agnes

Content: The legend of the lives of the two saints, inspired by the models of the Byzantine martyrs, has many points in common: both girls, who dedicated themselves to God, were the object of the attentions of powerful people and, following their refusal, were subjected to horrific torture: after death, miraculous events demonstrated their sanctity. The Riccardian manuscript is composed of two sections, likely joined together in the early fourteenth century. The codex contains the richest ornamental complement of the legend, a refined edition certainly intended for a very high class setting. Produced in Bologna in the late thirteenth century in a workshop specializing in the production of luxury volumes, which counted sovereigns and high prelates among its "clients," despite its small size, it is considered a high-quality product. Binding: entirely hand-made, respecting the outline of the pages, the foliage and the colours of the headband. Interior: 61 cards (122 pages, of which 15 are blank) with 33 full-page miniatures.
