Meditationes de sanctis mulieribus virginibusque

1478 · 10 pictures

This is a 1478 illuminated manuscript, Meditationes de sanctis mulieribus virginibusque, a devotional collection of meditations on female saints digitised by the Swiss e-codices library. Its miniatures show standing or kneeling female saints with halos, set against flat blue, red, or green grounds within thin red-ruled frames. A designer might take the flat saturated colour fields, the simple grass-line horizon, and the compact framed figures as a model for stylised, storybook-like иллюстрация.
