These are displayed in one of the rooms of the newly renovated library (the &#8220;Nuova Manica Lunga&#8221;) which was previously a monks&#8217; dormitory (how apt for a silent space).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2728\" alt=\"P1030051\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.arttrav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/P1030051.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.arttrav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/P1030051.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.arttrav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/P1030051.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The exhibition has a twofold itinerary organised according to theme and collectors, set up in six wooden cases. These are all illustrated printed books, which makes the exhibit special because when you&#8217;re actually researching, it can be quite hard to find which edition is illustrated. There are religious texts including a magnificent one printed on vellum (the material usually used for manuscripts, not print) and a miniature hours of Mary. A number of illustrated Aesops Fables are a lot of fun; one hand coloured, another open to a story of a woman making love to a donkey (the donkey worries about not injuring her with his deep claws). Another display is of illustrated travel books, including one aptly of Venice.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a photo gallery of the books.
