A new web exhibition of the library of the Amsterdam University takes you in twenty steps through three ages of prayer books with golden and silver mount. These missals form a part of the collection Van Noordwijk, a collector of book silver.
Typical about these books is the way in which they are richly decorated. They show how precious these books were for the owners.
