Nycolaus de Lyra, Postilla super Actus apostolorum, super Apocalypsim et super septem epistolas canonicas
A early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's biblical commentaries on Acts, Revelation and the seven catholic epistles, dated 1405 and held by a Swiss library, written in dense Latin text for a scholarly clerical readership. Its pen-and-ink drawings are loose, quick sketches of a city skyline, a mounted rider in a storm, saints in a row, and a reclining figure, giving a designer simple outline figures and hatched ground to borrow.
