THE TELEGRAPH: Disregarded manuscript proves major find

Press/Media: Research

Description

It is a 16th-century manuscript with beautiful illustrations that had been overlooked for years in Manchester University’s library, obscured by a catalogue description that was unlikely to arouse any interest: “German MS.2”.

Next month, it will be exhibited for the first time in more than 450 years as a major discovery linked to the workshop of the great 16th-century German master Lucas Cranach the Elder and his son Lucas Cranach the Younger.
