What is an Illuminated Manuscript?
An illuminated manuscript is a book written and decorated by hand.
Manuscripts which were decorated with gold, silver or bright paint are called illuminated
How were illuminated manuscripts made?
During the medieval period, books were written and decorated on vellum, a type of animal skin. Once the necessary number of vellum skins were prepared and cut to size for pages, they were then marked along both margins to establish the layout for the scribes and decorators. Following this, a calligrapher or scribe would write on the parchment with a reed or feather quill pen.
What are Book of Hours?
In the early Middle Ages, lavish biblical manuscripts, called treasure books, were richly illuminated in order to praise God, since they contained God's word. In the latter Middle Ages, deluxe personal prayer books, called Books of Hours, were the expressions of wealth and social status, like expensive jewelry and fine clothing.
Why is illuminated manuscript extremely valuable?
Because of their striking beauty and great allure, medieval illuminated manuscripts  have been considered treasures from the time of their creation to the present day. In the possessions of kings and dukes who commissioned them, manuscripts were treasured among their most precious objects.
Today, manuscripts are collected in the form of complete books, known as codexes, and as single leaves (individual pages) and cuttings (cut-out portions of pages). The collecting of single leaves and cuttings dates back to at least the eighteenth century when many miniatures were separated from their texts to be appreciated and displayed independently as small works of art.
Today, the supply of illuminated manuscripts is dwindling. It is estimated that about fifty to seventy percent of the medieval and renaissance manuscripts sold at public auction each year will disappear into private collections and may never again be available for public enjoyment.
