This indicates that, by that time, Iliad illustration had passed through various stages of development and thus had a long history behind it. It seems mere chance that neither an illustrated Odyssey nor any of the other Greek epic poems has survived" (Weitzmann, Late Antique and Early Christian Book Illumination [1977])."--https://www.facsimilefinder.com/facsimiles/ambrosian-iliad-facsimile (viewed November 13, 2018) "This time frame was developed by Ranuccio Bandinelli and is based on the abundance of green in the pictures, which happened to be the color of the faction in power at the time. It has since been reduced to a series of miniatures cut out of the manuscript. It is one of the oldest surviving illustrated manuscripts. In addition, it is the only surviving portion of an illustrated copy of Homer from antiquity and, along with the Vergilius Vaticanus and the Vergilius Romanus, one of only three illustrated manuscripts of classical literature to survive from antiquity."--https://www.facsimilefinder.com/facsimiles/ambrosian-iliad-facsimile (viewed November 13, 2018) |
