illuminated manuscripts (manuscripts (documents), <documents by conditions of production>, ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Handwritten manuscripts that have been decorated with gold or silver, brilliant colors, designs, or miniature pictures. Although prevalent in Islamic and Asian societies, the longest tradition of illuminating manuscripts was in Christian medieval Europe, from the 6th-16th centuries, when the art was superseded by printed illustrations. Generally, the manuscripts were both 'historiated', or decorated with relevant paintings, and 'illuminated' in its original sense, meaning decorated with calligraphic initial capital letters using gold leaf. Over time, the term 'illuminated' came to refer to any illustration or decoration in a manuscript. Illuminated manuscripts played a major role in the development of art, partly because of the manuscript's portability in carrying artistic developments from one region to another.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 以金或銀、豔彩、花紋、或微型圖畫裝飾的手寫手抄本。手抄本裝飾畫雖亦盛行於伊斯蘭與亞洲社會,但為期最長的傳統卻是6到16世紀的中世紀基督教歐洲,爾後該藝術才由印刷圖案所取代。一般而言,這種手抄本同時「飾以歷史、傳說圖案」,或以相關繪畫裝飾,並就其原始意義而言,「裝飾畫」意即以金葉描畫裝飾大寫字首字母。後來,「裝飾畫」一詞逐漸演變成指在手抄本中的任何圖案或裝飾。在藝術發展中,手抄本裝飾畫扮演了重要的角色,部分原因是此種手抄本輕便易攜帶,能將一處的藝術發展傳遞至另一處。 
Dutch ..... Met de hand geschreven manuscripten die zijn gedecoreerd met goud, zilver, felle kleuren, ontwerpen of miniaturen. Verluchte manuscripten komen nog algemeen voor in islamitische en Aziatische gemeenschappen, maar kenden vooral een lange traditie in het Europa van de middeleeuwen (vanaf de 6de tot de 16de eeuw), waarna deze kunst werd verdrongen door gedrukte illustraties. Doorgaans waren de manuscripten 'gehistorieerd' of gedecoreerd met toepasselijk schilderwerk, en verlucht oftewel 'geïllumineerd' in de oorspronkelijke betekenis: gedecoreerd met gekalligrafeerde beginkapitalen (initialen), waarbij ook bladgoud werd gebruikt. In de loop der tijd ging de term 'verlucht' of 'geïllumineerd' verwijzen naar iedere illustratie of decoratie in een manuscript. Geïllumineerde manuscripten spelen een belangrijke rol in de kunstontwikkeling, deels vanwege het feit dat manuscripten konden worden meegenomen naar een ander gebied en zo bijdroegen tot de verspreiding van kunstzinnige ontwikkelingen.
