| Shrnutí: | In this text, the author addresses the issue of ornaments and other decorations (e.g. letters opening particular paragraphs) in Moldavian manuscripts of the 15th century. In general, the main feature of these manuscripts in decoration was geometricism. Although some of the researchers wrote about the Romanian style, it was specific to monastic schools from Moldavia. These manuscripts were found in Transylvania and Red Ruthenia. Reproductions from Moldavian manuscripts stored in the National Library in Warsaw and the Central University Library in Cluj-Napoca were analysed. For comparison, but also to honor the unknown masters of illumination, there are references to Suceava, Transylvania, Novgorod and Polotsk manuscripts. |
