Since 2003, the Cambridge Illuminations team has been researching and cataloguing the 4000 illuminated Western manuscripts and incunabula at the Fitzwilliam Museum and the Cambridge Colleges. Initially funded by a three-year grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, continued by a one-year grant from the Modern Humanities Research Association (2007), the project is now supported entirely by a private sponsor. A high point of the project was The Cambridge Illuminations exhibition (26 July-11 December 2005). Hosted by the Fitzwilliam Museum and the University Library, it displayed over 200 of the most important manuscripts in Cambridge and was accompanied by its own catalogue, The Cambridge Illuminations: Ten Centuries of Book Production in the Medieval West, ed. P. Binski and S. Panayotova, London and Turnhout: Harvey Miller/Brepols, 2005. The exhibition closed with a major international conference (8-10 December 2005), whose proceedings were published in 2007, The Cambridge Illuminations: The Conference Papers, ed. S. Panayotova, London and Turnhout: Harvey Miller/Brepols, 2007. -from the Fitzwilliam Museum web site.
