Storia di dodici manoscritti

De Hamel's selections highlight both artistry and history—I'm curious how he decided which manuscripts to include and what stories he aimed to tell through them.

Their work feels so intimate and layered—did the detailed descriptions make others wonder about the people who created these masterpieces?

His stories feel so vivid and personal at times, leading me to wonder whether he weaves in his own experiences or mostly relies on historical evidence.
