Hi, I just bought this new edition of “300 Years Before Color.” I have all the previous ones, and this Panettone tin format with the collector's card set has piqued my curiosity. I can't wait to get it.
As an advertising creative and writer, the story behind Boogert’s color book has awakened my senses and imagination through its extraordinary variety of colors. The entire set is absolutely delightful—the presentation case, the art prints, and the companion booklet are all beautifully crafted and thoughtfully designed.

Beyond the legend, we need to remember that Codex Gigas is one of the most astonishing books ever created and a monumental handwritten masterpiece of European civilization.
It contains the complete Latin Vulgate Bible, alongside histories, and works that preserved the intellectual inheritance of Europe.
To open its pages is to encounter the world of Christendom in all its grandeur and wisdom.
The Codex Gigas XXL from TGB Limited Editions is simply a colossal work of art likely to be proudly displayed as a heirloom by generations yet to come.
I must say Galobart special Limited Editions have re-created a veritable masterpiece.
I personally consider it an honour and a privilege to have come across such an offering.
A big thank you to Alejandra and to the whole Galobart team for making this possible.
A stunning book! It gets a special space in my library. It´s worth the price. And I like the 10 small prints- they come into small frames.
This is an amazing reproduction of something every art teacher I ever had referred to with reverence. I might just have to track them down and show it to them. I never ended up becoming a painter, but having this in my home library just fills an empty spot in my artists heart.
I am very happy to own this Master piece, 300 years before color, butterfly edition, and to be part of my Library.
Thank you for the hard work and the elegant quality.
Really nice piece! It was packed really well. Its presentation is eyecatching. I look forward to other booksfrom the vendor.
This book is extraordinary, the text and the variety of colors offered. It would have been interesting to have a selection of the original colors to compare the printed version with the original.
My specialty in my work is color, and it's fascinating to compare color preparation techniques from that era to today.
The book is also beautiful in its execution and concept.
As a collector of cultural artifacts, this is one of my latest acquisitions. I love the velvet case and the leather-bound books.
I also appreciate the accompanying books in English. This is my favorite Da Vinci.

A beautiful object created for those who appreciate the origins of the confluence of the arts and sciences.
Bought 2….The colors, the packaging, everything beyond…one for gift!
The shipping was excellent—swift, secure, and handled with the kind of care this artifact deserves. From the moment the package arrived, it was clear I was receiving something extraordinary.
The Codex Gigas speaks with a presence all its own. Its weight, texture, and craftsmanship are a testament to the legend it carries—a silent but commanding echo of centuries past. This is not merely a book; it is a relic, a keeper of myth and ink, a monument bound in leather.
I am deeply pleased with this purchase and honored to add such a storied piece to my collection of artifacts. It now rests among them not as an object, but as a centerpiece—a testament to human ambition, faith, and shadowed history.
Thank you for producing and preserving something truly timeless.
An exquisite edition with magnificent finishes. The care taken in the presentation and the quality of the finishes are evident. Simply extraordinary and highly recommended.
I received this edition, and I love how vibrant the colors are.
I have an older edition that I also like very much; it's more similar to the original. However, the colors in this one are much brighter.
The art prints are perfect for decorating my living room.
I was really impressed with this edition of the Codex Leicester. The book is beautifully made, with clear reproductions of Leonardo’s sketches and notes. It feels like getting a glimpse directly into his mind. The quality is excellent, and it’s a great piece for anyone who loves art, history, or Leonardo da Vinci. I’m very happy with my purchase.
