Illuminated Manuscripts are made in great abundance during the Middle Ages and Early Renaissance. These texts provided an opportunity for the faithful to connect with the messages of the gospels. The images allowed those who were illiterate to remember the stories they heard. The manuscripts also allowed the faithful who came to Mass to sing the same hymns and follow along, unifying the people in attendance.
The BBC created a great Series on Illuminated Manuscripts and puts them in cultural contest. Watch the video to see the rich color of the images and go back in time to the era in which they were made. Watch a second BBC video about the Private Lives of Medieval Kings ... a story told through Illuminated Manuscripts.
