This facsimile of The Royal Psalter of Sainte-Chapelle, an illuminated manuscript originally made in Paris in the early thirteenth century, is filled with a delightful variety of geometric, floral, and zoomorphic line fillers.
Medieval scribes and artists filled the empty space between lines with humor, providing a break from often serious texts and also creating visual balance and symmetry. We suspect that they must have had a lot of fun creating these quirky creatures.
The Fine Arts Library holds a collection of over 300 full-color facsimiles of illuminated manuscripts from a wide range of periods and traditions. The collection primarily includes religious texts, but representatives of secular works on poetry and literature, astronomy, travel, sketchbooks, and science and medicine are also included.

This was a project that I did for a class I took on the history of alchemy. The notebook is designed based on certain Coptic techniques as well as a medieval loose binding that I saw while in training as a bookbinder and printing assistant.
My concept for the project was that, as an alchemist who had traveled between different areas of the Middle East and Mediterranean and seen many types of scrolls and books in that time, I had cobbled together a notebook using various inspirations.
It's been nearly three decades since Marvel and DC teamed up to create one of the most legendary mashups in comic book history, and now, Spider-Boy is swinging back into action!
This October, fans can relive the magic of SPIDER-BOY #1 with the release of the Spider-Boy #1 FACSIMILE EDITION, a complete reprint of the original 1996 one-shot, restored in all its glory, including ads, vintage vibes, and all.
Written by Karl Kesel with art by the late, great Mike Wieringo, this Amalgam Comics classic merged the worlds of Spider-Man and Superboy into one unforgettable hero: Pete Ross, aka Spider-Boy. The issue became a cult favorite, and now it returns just in time to ride the hype of Marvel and DC's newest crossover sensation, Deadpool/Batman and Batman/Deadpool.
In this wild one-shot, Spider-Boy takes on twisted threats like the monstrous Bizarnage and the towering King Lizard, all while trying to survive a blind date arranged by none other than Otto Octavius.
