The portfolio of Villard de Honnecourt (Paris, Bibliotheque nationale de France, MS Fr 19093): a new critical edition and color facsimile

This new facsimile edition of the Portfolio of the 13th-century Picard artist Villard de Honnecourt is the first ever to be published in color.

The thirty-three leaves are reproduced at actual size from high-quality color transparencies to ensure the best possible color reproduction of the drawings.

One can now see variations in inks and quill strokes, traces of preliminary drawings, and corrections made by the artist.
