Medizinische Traktate und Rezepte
A German medical treatise compiled around 1450 and held by Heidelberg University Library, with its text written in German for physicians and practitioners studying uroscopy. Its pictures are small, colored miniatures of standing men in period dress, each holding up a glass urine flask to examine it, with German captions below; a designer could take their simple outlined figures, muted ochre and rose palette, and the flask gesture as a compact motif.
