Composite manuscript (Theology)
A manuscript theology compilation of about 1450, held by a Swiss library, for scholarly and devotional readers. The picture is a hand-coloured woodcut-style page of an arched interior with a seated, crowned figure on a throne receiving a kneeling penitent, a cleric with a book, and an altar at left; yellow wash picks out the throne, robes and a column, and Latin captions run along the lower margin. A designer could take the stacked arcade framing, the limited yellow-and-black palette and the caption band as a model for a layout with text beneath an image.
