Pontus und Sidonia
Pontus und Sidonia is a German chivalric romance copied and illuminated around 1475, held by Heidelberg University Library and made for a courtly readership. Its pages pair dense black-letter text under decorated initials with small painted scenes of richly dressed courtiers, knights and townsfolk in bright, flat colours and gold-lined borders, offering a designer clear models for medieval costume, heraldic shields and compact narrative framing.
