Three of the four volumes of the Rochefoucauld Grail are up for auction; they're expected to fetch around £2 million.

Be sure to see the nine-image slide show of the illuminations.

It hurts my heart to think of these gorgeous volumes being sold into private hands, though they're already there. Would someone buy them for the British Library or the Bodleian? Please? Anyone?
