The Golden Munich Psalter – A new facsimile edition from Lucerne

After a successful start with our facsimile edition of The Prayer Book of Claude de France, Quaternio Editions Lucerne is very pleased to be able to offer another literary treasure in a faithfully rendered fine art facsimile edition. The Golden Munich Psalter, from the Bavarian State Library, is the richest visual cycle from England’s Middle Ages—a true, illustrated Bible. Its 91 full-page miniatures in gleaming gold tell many of the major Bible stories, from the Creation to Judgment Day.
