	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Illuminated Manuscripts
		Finally, in the history of art the r=93le of illuminated manuscripts was considerable; by treating in their works scenes of sacred history the manuscript painters inspired other artists, painters, sculptors, goldsmiths, ivory workers, etc.; it is especially in miniature that the ebb and flow of artistic styles during the Middle Ages may be detected.
		The evolution of miniature painting in the Occident was quite different; the imitation of ancient models was never as complete as in the Orient, and as in all other arts, the time came when the illuminator of manuscripts abandoned tradition and attempted to copy nature.
		What is striking about the manuscript is its aim at picturesqueness and movement, and the wholly Oriental character of the design and especially of the costumes of the personages (the women wear the tall head-dress and veil of the bas- reliefs of Palmyra) and of the architectural backgrounds (bulbous cupolas alternating with pedimented buildings).

		The portrait miniature, as a separate portrait enclosed in either a locket or a covered "portrait box," is most plausibly traced to Flemish illuminators such as those of the Horenbout family and Bening family.

		• The beauty of Spanish manuscript coats of arms—popularly and often imprecisely called "cartas ejecutorias de hidalguía"—has led to their being the most popular type of Spanish illuminated manuscript across a wide swath of the book and art collecting public.
		Spanish calligraphers, illuminators, and miniaturists of the late 18th and early 19th centuries created heraldic manuscripts at various levels of quality and at varying costs to those commissioning them, and Gerónimo Basabe Urasandi Santa Coloma y Mexía seems not to have stinted in his largesse to the artisans who surpassed themselves in this production.
		While many would label the manuscript a "carta de hidalguía," in fact, it is not, strictly; rather it is a confirmation of Gerónimo's arms, together with a genealogy and explanations of the various ancestor families' coats of arms and of his own.
