The Impossible Library

No one, not even a Renaissance prince, could have ever gathered the most beautiful manuscripts of all times in a single collection, either in the past or nowadays.

This is why “The Impossible Library” was created. A series that’s the only one of its kind in the world. One that includes the most precious volumes, the most refined works, the rarest manuscripts, all reproduced in unabridged versions that are exact copies of the originals and published in limited, numbered and certified editions complete with useful Commentaries written by the most qualified experts on miniatures.

An extraordinary heritage of beauty and knowledge rescued from oblivion and handed down to the future generations with all its historic, artistic and cultural values.
