The facsimile

In consideration of its qualities as a work in which  the arts of calligraphy and adornment are conjoined to such brilliant effect, Franco Cosimo Panini Editore decided to publish a facsimile edition of the Torriani Book of Hours –  the tenth in our series, Biblioteca Impossibile. The Biblioteca Impossibile is an ‘impossible’ library of facsimiles which we consider the ‘flagship’ project of our publishing house.

The facsimile is entirely faithful to the original in all its parts. It reproduces for the first time, and with the greatest precision, this exceedingly refined codex. It has been published as a single (unrepeatable) limited edition of 980 copies for world distribution.
The work is accompanied by a treatise publication providing comments, critical notes and analysis (edited by Pier Luigi Mulas).
