Nycolaus de Lyra, Postilla super Evangelia Iohannis, Lucae et Marci, postilla super Tobiam et Baruch

1392 · 2 pictures

A late fourteenth-century manuscript of biblical commentaries by Nicholas of Lyra, dated 1392 and held by the Swiss e-codices digital library, written for scholars and clergy reading the Gospels. Its pictures are simple pen drawings of an evangelist seated at a lectern with a halo, one under a canopied roof and one beside a goat, with a red-ink heading and text lines above, suggesting clean outline figures and restrained page layouts a designer could borrow for minimal line illustration.
