Chazen marks spot for artistic ?treasures?

Books are not often thought of as an art form. Then again, these are not mere books.The compendiums slaved over by monastic scribes in candlelit halls were not merely text upon paper. Illuminated manuscripts were carefully crafted, elaborately decorated pieces of medieval artwork. And while these European gilded texts were crafted for elite patrons, they?ll soon be on display for all to see at the Chazen Art Museum.
