Product Description
This CD-ROM and book set, featuring eye-catching ornaments from archival sources, depicts scores of authentic decorative motifs. Selected from nineteenth-century reprints of such medieval manuscripts as The Illuminated Books of the Middle Ages, The Art of Illumination, Ornementation des Manuscrits au Moyen Âge, and Alphabets, Numerals and Devices of the Middle Ages, over 350 full-color illustrations depict a wide range of subjects--from birds, florals, animals, and geometrics to letters of the alphabet embellished with flowers and sinuous vines, mythical beasts, musicians, whimsical figures emerging from flowers, knights in battle, and much more. Ideal for adding a medieval touch to countless projects, these stunning images will be welcomed by graphic artists in search of immediately usable, permission-free illustrations as well as by students of architecture and the decorative arts. Dover Original. One CD-ROM and paperbound book. Approximately 357 full-color illustrations.

Customer Reviews
Dull
Some of these images are interesting. But the colors of these images are dull. Nothing snappy here. I wanted to find images for use in decoupage projects, to make and give as Christmas presents. Not a world shaking goal. Dover is an old, established company with a good reputation. These images, however many dpi they may have, printed out less clearly than images I imported from the web at 72dpi. But the image edges were clean. Which is more than can be said for Dover's "Full-Color Decorative Christmas Illustrations". Ebay sellers ('Luna-girl' has been the best) can do so much better. What's with Dover?
Great artwork to use for projects
Do wish it provided historical information. Was hoping for a short explanation of the symbols.
Medieval Ornaments Clip Art
This dover cd is superior in color and detail. I have not found one dover clip art book that was not.
Referance for any artist or professional for referance.
