Tecnologia in figura: MSS Research in Italy.

The article presents information on three major exhibitions which illuminated the manuscripts in Italy throughout the summer of 1995. The exhibition presented for the first time in public a selection of 128 illuminated manuscripts and incunabula from the little-known collections of the Biblioteca Civica 'Angelo Mai' at Bergamo and the Biblioteca Civica Queriniana at Brescia. The exhibition was divided chronologically and geographically in twelve sections with examples showing the development of manuscript production across Europe at different periods from the tenth to the sixth.
