Much of the art is as well-known as any illuminated manuscript has ever been. The reason this book is a continued source of wonder lies in the precision of the illustrations and the sly, almost humorous placement of real people doing everyday chores next to enormous castles, sometimes with a dragon flying overhead. The artwork is exceptional with vibrant colors and fine detail. This edition also explains the book in the historical context of its patrons and artists. It is a masterpiece.
