The eCodicology project triumphs in “Initiale trifft Illuminale” not only with the handwriting of Aesop from Trier, a collection of medieval fables, but also explains everything to do with the subject of “Book & Paper” and, with its illuminated manuscripts, ties in with the motto of the major event. There is a special painting corner for children in which they can play the role of a medieval monk and embellish a decorative letter themselves.
