AT ( Bücher der Könige, Paralipomenon I und II)
A German manuscript of the Books of Kings and Chronicles, made in 1441 and held by Heidelberg University Library, written in Middle High German for a lay or clerical reader. Its pictures show a crowned king seated at a lectern or writing desk, painted in red, blue and green with gold accents on vellum, with scrolling banners above the text and a decorated initial letter that a designer could borrow for hand-lettered headers and framed captions.
