Codex Heroica by Philostratus is a renowned illuminated manuscript created by the Italian Renaissance artist Attavante Degli Attavanti. This exquisite work, also known simply as the "Heroica," is a visual interpretation of the "Imagines" (Images) by the ancient Greek sophist Philostratus the Elder. The manuscript, which dates back to the late 15th century, is a testament to the revival of classical themes and the flourishing of humanist culture during the Renaissance.

The Codex Heroica is a collection of descriptions of paintings in a gallery, purportedly based on the works of an ancient artist. Philostratus's text serves as a guide through the gallery, offering a vivid portrayal of each painting's subject matter, which often revolves around mythological themes and heroes. Attavante Degli Attavanti's illuminated version of this text is notable for its intricate miniatures and elaborate decoration, which bring Philostratus's descriptions to life and reflect the artist's mastery of color, composition, and detail.

Attavante Degli Attavanti (1452–1525) was a prominent Florentine illuminator, celebrated for his work on manuscripts. His contribution to the Codex Heroica is particularly significant for its artistic merit and the way it encapsulates the intellectual and aesthetic values of the time. The manuscript not only showcases Attavanti's skill as an illuminator but also serves as a cultural bridge between the classical world and the Renaissance, as it reinterprets ancient texts through the lens of 15th-century artistic innovation.

The Codex Heroica is an important artifact in the history of art and literature, reflecting the humanist interest in classical antiquity and the high level of craftsmanship achieved by Renaissance artists in the realm of manuscript illumination. Today, it is valued not only for its artistic beauty but also for its role in the transmission and reinterpretation of classical literature during a pivotal period in European history.
