Die Nürnberger miniaturmalerei bis 1515
Die Nürnberger Miniaturmalerei bis 1515 is a 1905 Strassburg study by art historian Theodor Raspe on manuscript illumination and miniature painting in Nuremberg up to 1515. Its plates show decorated initials, painted border scrolls and musical notation pages from liturgical manuscripts, many reproduced as black-and-white photographs. A designer could take from them the interlocking acanthus-like tendrils, the gilded capitals with figures inside them, and the dense black-letter text blocks set within ornamental frames.
