Description
"This volume, which is mainly devoted to the Corvinian manuscripts preserved in libraries outside Hungary, together with the book compiled by Ilona Berkovits 'Illuminated manuscripts from the library of Matthias Corvinus' (1964), describing the Corvinian manuscripts preserved in Hungary, includes all the surviving codices and incunabula orginating from the one-time Bibliotheca Corviniana of Buda."--Page 7Tags

_The_ best book for whitevine exemplars. Note that there are at least two other books out there with the same title and same authors, but much fewer pages (and thus much fewer pictures). If you see "Bibliotheca Corviniana", look for (1) a publication date of 1990, AND (2) a page count over 500 (there was a much shorter exhibition catalog published the same year - it's also pretty good, but doesn't have as many pictures, and worse, doesn't give the sizes of the originals.)
