Hellfire Author: Robert Weinberg

ISBN: 9780762439065 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 128 Published: 7 September 2010 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 30.5 x 22.9 x 1.7 Description: In the fourteenth century, a horrific plague swept out from the barbaric East to decimate the great nations of Europe. This killer that spared no man, woman, or child - the Black Death - is well known and documented. But there was also a second disaster that occurred at the same time, no less brutal than the Black Death, a "living" plague that killed without mercy which has gone untold and unrecorded - until now. A plague consisting of a horde of monstrous beasts unlike any seen before, or since : a plague of dragons.

This lavishly illustrated volume tells the story through a lost manuscript and accompanying artwork by fourteenth-century French wine merchant and confidant of popes and kings, Robertus of Avignon (1320-1387), found in the Historical Museum of New York in 2005. Discovered in a box of artefacts, historical documents, and original illustrations purchased by the museum in 1922, his illuminated manuscript and more than two dozen illustrations are reproduced in this spectacular volume that brings to life in great detail the majestic, domineering, and dangerous qualities of dragons.
