Processional of Münsterlingen (TG)
A late fifteenth-century Swiss processional manuscript from 1487, held by the e-codices virtual manuscript library, made for liturgical use in a church or monastery. The page has a framed historiated initial showing a blue-ground scene with a crowned figure above and a group of haloed figures below, beside square-note plainchant lines with red and gold ornament. A designer might take the gold-framed panel, the pink and green foliage border, and the spacing of dark chant notes on cream parchment as a model for layout.
