Das Webebild in der Manesse-Handschrift und seine angebliche Vorlage

Stettiner, Richard, 1865- · 1911 · Berlin : W. Spemann · 15 pictures

A 1911 German scholarly study by Richard Stettiner, published in Berlin by W. Spemann, examining a weaving scene in the Manesse manuscript and its supposed source, with plates of medieval drawings for art historians. The pictures are outline line drawings of medieval figures, including a seated woman at a loom-like frame, a crowned seated figure, a man resting his head on his hand, and two women at work on a cloth, with a scale bar and a plate caption marking them as reproductions. A designer might take from them the simple contour line style and the posed, angular figures of late medieval manuscript art.
