Könige, Paralipomenon I und II, Esra, Tobias, Judith, Esther, Hiob
A 1477 German illuminated manuscript of Old Testament books, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Tobit, Judith, Esther and Job, held by Heidelberg University Library and likely made for a lay reader. The miniatures show kings, soldiers and townsfolk in saturated colour with gold-leaf accents, set in narrow framed scenes above columns of black-letter German text. A designer could borrow the flat, layered architecture of walled towns and the bold red, blue and ochre costume palette.
