Eikon Editores - Discover the Past Through the Art of the Present
Books are the foundation of our society. To understand the roots of our culture and enrich the dimension of our future, one cannot forgo the book as a bearer of civilization.
Every time we open a medieval manuscript, we breathe in its history, its past, and the special aura that emanates from its pages. These pages are filled with collective experiences and individual stories. Each codex is a world unto itself, a unique and fascinating microcosm, whose images provide us with a vivid glimpse into the history and context in which artists and craftsmen lived in a distant and captivating era.
Welcome to the world of the most exquisite facsimiles and illuminated codices in history. Before you dive into this universe, let us tell you a bit more about us:
