Recensione:
«Tremblez, simples mortels! Les prophéties divines envoyées sur Terre peuvent se traduire par d effroyables incendies, inondations, invasions de monstres et autres phénomènes apocalyptiques en tout genre. C est ce que nous enseigne le Livre des miracles, réalisé vers 1550 dans la cité d Augsbourg, somptueux manuscrit enluminé composé de gouaches et aquarelles grand format. Récemment redécouvert, ce chef-d uvre de la Renaissance allemande est édité pour la première fois en fac-similé. Et agrémenté d indispensables clefs de lecture (introduction historique et transcription du texte) permettant de décrypter des compositions traduisant les angoisses existentielles de l humanité, aussi terrifiantes que fascinantes.» --Beaux arts, Paris, France
