The Book of Miracles first surfaced only a few years ago and is one
of the most spectacular discoveries in the field of Renaissance
art. The near-complete illustrated manuscript, created in Augsburg
around 1550, is composed of 169 pages of large-format illustrations
in gouache and watercolor, depicting wondrous and often eerie
phenomena. The mesmerizing images deal with both biblical and
folkloric tales, depicting stories from the Old Testament and Book
of Revelation as well as events that took place in the immediate
present of the manuscript's author. From shooting stars to swarms
of locusts, terrifying monsters to fatal floods, page after page
hypnotizes with visions alternately dreadful, spectacular, and even
apocalyptic. This volume presents the revelatory Book of Miracles
in a new, compact format, making this extraordinary document
accessible to everyone. It comes with a translation of the
manuscript texts and two essays that give an introduction to the
cultural and historical context of this unique Renaissance work.
