Cristoforo Orimina

Cristoforo Orimina was an Italian illuminator of the 14th century.

The Orimini were a patrician family of Naples, belonging to the noble seggio of Capuana.

[1] Cristoforo identified himself on the last leaf of an illuminated manuscript Bible.

[2] Stylistic comparison allows numerous other manuscript illuminations to be attributed to Cristoforo's hand or workshop.

One of the best known of these works is the Hamilton Bible, now in Berlin.
