Illuminated Manuscripts from the 12th to the 17th Century

Heribert Tenschert has long been recognised as the world-leading dealer of illuminated manuscripts. Here at the Bibermühle we pride ourselves on the exceptional quality and breathtaking state of preservation of each of the manuscripts in our collection. Almost all of our nearly 200 illuminated manuscripts are prominent both for their significance in art history and the history of medieval Europe.

Dr. Tenschert's commitment to providing the most beautiful books on the market also includes advancing the scholarship of the field, which is why he has assembled a team of world-renowned specialists, together with whom he continuously works towards a better understanding of what these books can tell us about their history, their artists, and their previous owners. These detailed findings are published regularly in our scholarly catalogues.
