Illumination is a type of decorative painting applied to the chapter letters of medieval parchment codices. The term also applies to the set of decorative elements and imagery representations executed in the manuscripts produced mainly in the convents and abbeys of the Middle Ages. Its elaboration was a refined craft and quite important in the context of medieval art. In the thirteenth century, "illumination" referred mainly to the use of gilding. Therefore, an illuminated manuscript would be, in the strict sense, one decorated with gold (or silver). It is assumed that the term 'illumination' is derived from 'illuminate' (from the Latin verb illuminare), by allusion to the luminous and vibrant colors of the decorative elements, which stood out on the written page. It is also possible that the word derives from alum, specifically in allusion to potassium alum (double sulfate of aluminum and potassium dodecaidratated, called "lume" in the Middle Ages), which was mixed with vegetable dyes, thus obtaining the aluminated lacquer, often used in illuminations.
