M. Moleiro Editor Information

M. Moleiro is the most prestigious company in the world specialized in the reproduction of codices, maps and works of art usually made on parchment, vellum, paper, papyrus… between the 8th and 16th centuries in the form, in most instances, of illuminated books. The techniques employed in reproducing the codices, combined with the wisdom and skilled craftsmanship of our trade, enable us to remain very faithful to the original. Bound in leather tanned used the methods of years past and reproduced on special, hand-made paper; our codices reproduce all the nuances of the paintings, parchment, gold and silver leaf etc. A M. Moleiro codex is, therefore, more than a facsimile book, it is an exact replica, a “First, unique and unrepeatable edition”. The constant search for the most outstanding bibliographic treasures that have survived the passage of time necessarily requires close collaboration with the libraries, museums and archives where they are zealously safeguarded. All our facsimile editions have been carefully selected. They are singular codices not only in terms of the great beauty of their illustrations – a source of uplifting pleasure for the senses – but also due to their historical and artistic importance within the culture of the western world. To date we have created exact replicas of bibliographic gems belonging to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Bibliothèque nationale de France, The British Library, National Library of Russia....
