Nycolaus de Lyra, Postilla super libros Iosue, Iudicum, Ruth, Esdrae, Iob
A late medieval manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's biblical commentary on Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Ezra and Job, made in 1401 and held by a Swiss library, probably for a religious reader. The four pictures show small hand-coloured figures in simple gowns, hoods and tall hats, gesturing and walking across grass above dense Latin text in black ink with red initials, with plain blue and ochre washes and no shading.
