Title: 14thC Italians in 'De bello civili' by Lucanus
Post by: Druzhina on 22 August 2015, 12:49:09 PM
De bello civili by Lucanus describes the civil war between Caesar and Pompey. Niccolò da Bologna illustrated a copy in 1373. This shows the typical characteristics of the Bolognese school of manuscript illumination.
