ABECEDARIUM

ABECEDARIUM offers artists of all ages the chance to colour the pages of history: it includes two black and white versions of each alphabetical letter for readers to personalize. These letters are drawn from rare illuminated books and manuscripts of science and art of the fifteenth through the twentieth centuries. Accompanying each letter is the story of its rare book source, its artist, and its historical context. Part history, part colouring book, and part guide to selected historic books, ABECEDARIUM is a contemplative and inspiring way to experience art, science, and culture from the Renaissance through early modern times.
