Description

We present the first English translation of the Liber diversarum arcium, a 14th-century manuscript offering the most comprehensive surviving guide to medieval painting techniques. Covering tempera, oil, fresco, manuscript illumination, glass, and ceramics, it includes nearly 600 detailed recipes—many found nowhere else. Accompanied by extensive technical and historical commentary, this invaluable resource reveals the advanced state of painters' knowledge prior to the innovations of the van Eycks, and will appeal to art historians, conservators, and scholars of medieval technology.
