"Elsässische Legenda Aurea"
The Elsässische Legenda Aurea is a German-language illuminated manuscript of saints' lives compiled in 1419, probably in Alsace, and held by Heidelberg University Library. Its pictures show a kneeling saint in rose and green robes before armed men, with gold leaf haloes and simple flat greens on pale grounds, a palette a designer could borrow for medieval-style pattern or period illustration.
