Nycolaus de Lyra, Postilla super Leviticum, Numeros et Deuteronomium
This is a Latin biblical commentary on Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy by Nicholas of Lyra, copied in 1397 in a German-speaking region for scholarly readers. The pictures are pen-and-ink drawings with light colour washes, sketchy and loosely finished, showing bearded figures in long robes, hooded court figures, a seated king with a messenger, and a grim scene of hanging and execution with red-stained wounds; a designer might borrow their loose hatching and marginal, diagram-like composition.
