Revelationes sancte Birgitte is a 1500 printed edition of the visions of Saint Bridget of Sweden (c. 1303-1373), printed in Nuremberg by Anton Koberger for devotional readers of the Bridgettine tradition. The pages are dense black-letter Latin text in two columns with rubricated initials, and the one full-page woodcut shows an enthroned Virgin and Christ above a crowded lower register, offering a designer strong examples of late medieval page layout and dense typographic texture.
