Zürich Zentralbibliothek Shelfmark: Ms. Rh. hist. 33b Manuscript title: War technology (Illuminated Manuscript) Caption: Paper · 168 ff. · 30.0 x 21.0 cm · Upper Rhine · about 1420-1440 Manuscript summary: This codex contains a rare illuminated manuscript constituted entirely by illuminated pages, for each of which only a succinct caption is given, most often only a line of text, and which therefore provides exceptional historical image-sources for numerous domains. The pictures presented here of military technology were perhaps originally part of a medieval house book. A typical collector’s item, this illuminated manuscript underscores the collection character of the Rheinau conventual library, whose librarians and abbots were expressly on the lookout for rare books. |
