Johannis; Ars Moriendi, etc.; Anatomical and medical texts. Theological, moral and allegorical 'exempla' and extracts, a few in verse. Further details on each of these four main sections of the text are given in separate records for each section.Written mainly in Latin, but with some passages and verses in German. Illustrated with 292 emblematic, symbolic and anatomical tinted outline drawings and figures. Pale colours only are used, mainly green, yellow, pink and red. Except perhaps for those in the Medical Section, the drawings appear to be by the same artist throughout, and are carefully and skilfully executed. No gold is used. These illustrations are of great interest and importance for the history of design, constume, architecture, etc., of the early 15th century. The first leaf, otherwise blank, contains a rough pen-drawing of a Lady in late 16th century costume sitting on a chair; facing her is a small dog to whom she is beckoning. Illustrations for the four main sections of the text are discussed as part of the individual records for those sections. Ink and Watercolour Circa 1420-30 MS 49 Apocalypse, (The), [etc.].
