Specialists in the making of facsimiles of the most beautiful, rare and difficult-to-reproduce works. Established in 1980, Facsimile Editions’ very first facsimile was one of the largest and most complex ever published. In the ensuing years we have continuously pushed the boundaries in terms of detail, materials, authenticity and intricacy.

Facsimile creation spurs the development of innovative new processes and materials. Our unique paper is the closest to real parchment ever made. We pioneered the reproduction of raised gold illumination without embossing, were the first to reproduce a scribe’s pricking and our bindings reflect an extraordinary level of realism. Every facsimile is the product of research, development and intense attention to detail.

Leading museums, libraries and private collectors commission work from us. Whether a single copy of a 13th century manuscript, tiny fragments of papyrus, a scroll on copper, or an intricate contemporary manuscript with a thousand-piece marquetry binding, all our projects are completed with the same dedication to excellence.
Exquisitely illuminated leaves are a treasured gift, whether to mark a special occasion or simply to frame. Each leaf is mounted and presented together with a description of the manuscript.
