  Miniature (illuminated manuscript) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miniature of the baptism of Christ from the Benedictional of St. Æthelwold, 10th century, is an example of the Anglo-Saxon school.
Thus the history of the miniature in the 15th century must be sought in the manuscripts of the Continental schools.
Like the miniature of the Flemish school, the Italian miniature was still worked to some extent with success, under special patronage, even in the 16th century; but with the rapid displacement of the manuscript by the printed book the miniaturist's occupation was brought to a close.

 Mogul miniature - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Mogul miniature
Indo-Islamic miniature painting of court life or the natural world, produced in northern India in the ateliers (workshops) of the Mogul emperors Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan (16th–17th centuries).
Persian Safavid artists introduced the traditions of miniature painting from Persian art, but the atelier then developed its own unique style, combining Persian and European techniques as well as Hindu and Islamic traditions.
Mogul miniatures remained popular during Jehangir's reign, but began to decline under Shah Jahan (reigned 1628–1666), as many of the artists began to move to different courts in Rajput and Deccani.
