Long before 1471, Ferrara was an established center for the production of #manuscripts. Local workshops under Leonello d'Este (1407-50) had stressed the classics and humanistic subjects, and under Borso d’Este (1413–71) had shifted their focus to magnificently illuminated books, to translations, and to vernacular #literature. Under his half-brother Ercole (1431–1505), they broadened still further. Ercole ordered at least four splendidly illuminated Breviaries for his personal use and among them is this wonderful Orationes by Saint Agustine (354-430). A work of Andrea dalle Vieze (scribe) and Tommaso da Modena (artist), the Sant’Agostino Estense, with its 68 #miniatures embellished with gold and more than 130 smaller gilded and colored #initials, was produced around 1482 for the Este court and is counted among the masterpiece produced in Ferrara.
