Discover Cultural Heritage in a New Light: With our app "Living Manuscripts," we bring ancient manuscripts to life digitally, merging centuries-old art with cutting-edge technology—a unique experience for art lovers and bibliophiles.


For over 50 years, we have seen ourselves as cultural ambassadors with a clear goal: to make our cultural heritage, in its most beautiful form—book art—accessible to art lovers, bibliophiles, and professionals. The combination of cutting-edge technology and traditional craftsmanship allows us to capture and reproduce the vibrant spirit and visual richness of ancient manuscripts in faithful replicas.

As the world's largest publishing group for facsimiles, we are proud to introduce a new technology: immerse yourself in a world of radiant gold and silver, with expressive imagery and vibrant colors that come together uniquely in the miniatures of exceptional manuscripts. With our app "Living Manuscripts," we bring a selection of our miniatures to life and invite you to share this unique experience with us.

 

Why is Living Manuscripts now part of the Universal Art Group?

By bringing together several specialized brands—such as Living Manuscripts, Medieval Art Stories, Faksimile Verlag, Müller und Schindler Verlag, Eikon Editores, Haltadefinizione, Buchhandlung Anton Pfeiler, and Kulturalis—the Universal Art Group leverages synergies and enhances resource efficiency. This consolidation makes it easier to reach a global audience.

As a member of this group, Living Manuscripts benefits from expanded distribution channels and collaborative marketing initiatives. Additionally, being part of a larger network of art and culture specialists opens new opportunities to further develop and disseminate the publisher’s heritage and expertise.
