Description

The Radziwill Chronicle is the only surviving medieval illuminated codex with a chronicle text. Traditionally, it is viewed as a faithful replica of the now-lost early thirteenth-century original. In spite of intensive research both of the text and its illustrations, the manuscript remains rather enigmatic: it is not quite clear where or when it was produced, nor how accurately it reproduces the original. By examining of the codex’s illustrations, the lecture suggests answers to some of these questions.
