  1. absolutely beautiful! do you know more about it?

    it's much earlier and less sublime but maybe you like also the illustrations made for the "visio tnugdali" from 1438. it's some kind of otherworld-journey-literature originated in the 12th century.
    haven't still found a complete digitalisation at the internet and only own some bad copies from an english translation... but anyway: it's worth a look.
