Written Heritage of the past in High Quality Reproductions - Fine Art Facsimile Editions: For more than fifty years, we at the publishing house Müller & Schindler have remained faithful to the original publishing idea of its founders: We reproduce historical manuscripts and documents as true to the original replicas, undistinguishable from the original in every aspect. They can be used as unique ambassadors without endangering the irreplaceable originals. It is our aim to make available our cultural heritage in its most beautiful form - the art of the book - to art lovers, bibliophile collectors and experts. Bringing together state-of-the-art technology and traditional craftsmanship, we capture the spirit and visual richness of ancient manuscripts in replicas that are true to the original. What is a facsimile? The word derives from the Latin term: fac simile = make it similar. A facsimile is the faithful reproduction (an exact copy) of a manuscript, or printed book. Faithful reproduction obviously means to display in the facsimile all visible characteristics of the original work – vibrant colours, gold and silver, but also age marks or irregularities. Facsimile books are generally published in worldwide limited editions. Facsimile editions are different, not only because of the perfect technical reproduction and craftsmanship applied to each single item, but also because they capture and convey the spirit and charisma of the original.
