Miscellany: Anatomical-Physiological Description of Men; Liber Synonimorum; Descriptions of Planets, Zodiacs, and Comets; Treatises on Divination from Names, etc.
A 1464 German miscellany of mixed learned texts, including anatomy, synonyms, planets and comets, and divination, held by the J. Paul Getty Museum. The pages pair dense handwritten German text in black and red ink with small framed painted miniatures of mounted knights carrying banners and lances. A designer could draw on the saturated ochre, red and green palette, the flat stylised horses, and the boxed panel layout set against text blocks.
