Sinopse

«A nossa conferência tem como objetivo mostrar como os iluminadores e os copistas que ilustraram e transcreveram os manuscritos na Idade Média deixaram vestígios de si mesmos nas páginas dos codices que transcreviam e ilustravam. Esses vestígios poderiam ser gráficos (assinaturas, colofões e anotações) ou visuais (iluminuras com retratos desses artesãos). Veremos também como os proprietários e os mecenas dos manuscritos iluminados deixaram vestígios de si próprios através de inscrições e notas de propriedade nas páginas dos referidos manuscritos. Todos estes traços visuais e gráficos podem ser considerados uma espécie de ex-libris ante litteram”.».
