Initial from Bishop Erazm Ciolek's Pontifica |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bishop Erazm Ciolek' Palace (the National Museum of Cracow’s venue for medieval art) will turn into a temporary library of spectacular illuminated manuscripts and printed books from the 13th to 17th centuries. The exhibition “Treasures from the Princes Czartoryski Library” is set to open on September 15 and run to October 2.While the show’s short duration is doubtless a result of the objects’ fragility, it has been set to coincide with the international congress of the Association Internationale de Bibliophilie. In the words of the National Museum, the exhibition is a “rare occasion for the public to get up close with some of the most prized examples of the book arts from the Princes Czartoryski Library collection.” On view will be 50 works of medieval illumination alongside Renaissance and later engravings culled from liturgical books, philosophy and history texts. The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of catalogues in the form of an inventory of the collection; the first volume of which has already been published.
