Illuminated manuscript
An illuminated manuscript is a handwritten book decorated with gold, silver, or miniature pictures. Illuminated manuscripts were most commonly found in medieval Europe, where Christianity was the state religion of various kingdoms.[1] Illuminated manuscripts are said to have played a huge role in the history of arts. The ease of carrying illuminated manuscripts from one region to another contributed to the spread of knowledge.[1] From the 15th century onwards, illuminated manuscripts were replaced by printed manuscripts.[1]
