Recreating the Multi-Coloured Verve and Glamour of Medieval Manuscripts

Centre Piece - June 1991

Guests at Yarnton Manor recently heard about a distinguished project in the world of books that owes much to the Oxford Centre and which is attracting increasing notice.

The lecturer, Michael Falter, affirmed that there is perhaps no publishing house today that treasures the ancient craft-skills needed to recreate the multi-coloured verve and glamour of medieval manuscripts than the family-run firm set up by him and his wife, Linda.

From a specially designed garden studio at their London home, they supply an international clientele of art-lovers, connoisseurs, great libraries and scholars, with limited editions of facsimiles of unique Hebrew handwritten books, the originals of which are stored out of reach of the public and subject to restricted access.

A Tribute to the Centre

Michael Falter's lecture was a tribute to the role of the Oxford Centre in founding "Facsimile Editions" about a decade ago. He described how the President, Dr David Patterson, first pointed out to him that one of the most stunning of medieval Hebrew Bibles, the Kennicott Bible, is in the holdings of the Bodleian Library, and he introduced the Falters to the then Senior Assistant, Ron May. (Mr May is a member of the Centre's Library Committee.)
