Historia Scholastica
Historia Scholastica is a medieval illuminated manuscript of biblical history in Latin, made around 1300 by an unnamed scriptorium and held by the J. Paul Getty Museum, written for clerical and scholarly readers. Its pictures are small painted miniatures on gold and parchment, with a green dragon-like creature with clawed feet and a haloed figure with raised hand beside a red-cloaked companion, offering designers flat decorative color, gilded grounds and inked gothic lettering for medieval-style layouts.
