Illuminated Manuscripts | Fitzwilliam Museum

An article from the Telegraph on the illuminated manuscripts held in the Cambridge Fitzwilliam Museum - which I visited just a few weeks ago - unfortunately before the opening of this exhibition ;)

Here is the museum's introduction to the exhibition:

And, if you cannot get to the exhibition in person, some of the manuscripts have been digitised. Particularly useful if you are a medieval student on the other side of the world! Explore them here:
