L'arte dei manoscritti medievali è la meravigliosa celebrazione dell'arte medievale dei manoscritti miniati, applicata a soggetti sia religiosi sia di diverso genere. I capitoli introduttivi narrano la storia dei manoscritti, descrivono dettagliatamente le tecniche impiegate e illustrano le origini e i luoghi in cui si possono ammirare, ancor oggi, tali preziose opere d'arte. Questo libro vanta una pregevole riproduzione di esemplari finemente decorati sopravvissuti al trascorrere del tempo: dalle bibbie ai libri di preghiere, alle opere storiche, ai volumi di storia naturale, alle guide di medicina, ai primi atlanti, accanto ai libri della tradizione e della novellistica.

Qui était vraiment le comte Vlad de Valachie, dit aussi Drakula, le Vampire des Carpates, mort depuis cinq siècles ? C'est la question que se pose, intriguée, une jeune fille en découvrant clans le bureau de son père un vieux livre dont toutes les pages sont blanches, sauf la page centrale, sur laquelle un dragon aux ailes déployées protège entre ses griffes cet unique mot : Drakula. Commence alors, pour son père comme pour elle-même, une enquête périlleuse autour de cette noire figure du passé. Peu à peu, l'ombre maudite se fait plus présente et oppressante autour d'eux. Peu à peu, la quête se transforme en traque, et la vérité se dégage de la légende, plus terrifiante encore.
