Title
Hermann Composite folio 167v-168r
Description
Illustrations on parchment leaves 12.5''h x 9.5''w.
f.167v-168r - an illustrated catalogue of women martyrs and saints, divided over three horizontal rows of inserts, (Fischer Library) most of which are irregularly divided vertically into separate inserts, suggesting a top-down, left to right reading of each leaf. Mainly focuses of the moment of death/passion. Heavy use of green ink as well as lighter shades of red and blue. Evidently unfinished, ribbons intended to contain text are blank and penciled notes in margins seem to identify the characters, most likely as a guide for the later scribe to caption in ink.
