A very special birthday gift just finished before my next birthday :) Exclusive, comprehensive (including the miniatures from İslamic World as well) and detailed. Realky had troubles to digest the grammar and vocabulary used and have to confess remember very little as I come to end - no worries for me though as it gave me a similar experience as I did the sketching: No matter how insufficient I am, the entire process is priceless

good resource to get a sense of style across time and place. kinda gappy narrative though, perhaps unavoidable.
stole a maple leaf motif from one of the manuscripts :)

would have loved this book as a kid//growing up
good gift book....
