..... putting these works together. We can rejoice in the fact that they have been saved for us to appreciate.
When colleges and universities buy these facsimiles, they offer scholars and students the chance to review reproductions of priceless documents that are absolutely faithful to the originals. Students can “see” and study documents preserved in libraries, monasteries, foundations and museums in faraway corners of the world.
But many of the fine reproductions that we handle are also masterpieces that private art collectors, history lovers and others may wish to purchase as well.
We deal with a number of outstanding European firms that reproduce these treasures of the past using the latest in digital technology. These editions mirror the originals in the richness of their paintings and illuminations; the documents are also bound in the same way as the originals. The finished facsimiles are perfect for class instruction in a variety of topics.
Among the facsimile reproduction firms that we represent in the United States are Testimonio Editorial, Patrimonio Ediciones, Scriptorium, Circulo Cientifico and Millennium Liber. We have assisted many of the nation's finest schools in facsimile acquisitions from these companies.
Medieval Treasures: Our medieval list includes examples of the Book of Hours and Beatus Manuscripts; documents that deal with Travel, Cartography, Musicology, Natural History and other topics; works of Byzantine, Hebrew and Arab origin; and many others.
Discovery of America: Many facsimile reproductions that we have access to deal with Latin America and the discovery of the Americas, including documents written by Christopher Columbus, The Book of Marco Polo, and manuscripts related to Magellan's expedition around the world.
History of Golf: Recently, we have launched a special collection of our very own, “Key Documents of the Early History of Golf,” a special collaboration done with The National Library of Scotland, The Scottish Record Office, The City of Edinburgh's Archives and the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers. We produced this collection of 255 documents with the aid of Testimonio Editorial of Madrid, one of the finest facsimile publishers in the world.
