by Museum of the Bible Books (Created by)

Overview

This bookmark features artwork from the Prayer Book of Emperor Charles V, which was published for the Spanish king between 1516 and 1519. The book is embellished with seventy-six illuminations as well as decorative elements including frames, initials, and colored ornamental bands throughout. The codex served as a book of moral edification for the young king who over and over again turned to its pages as evidenced by the considerably worn condition of the parchment.
