Herzogenburg, Augustiner-Chorherrenstift, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. 89
Latin prayerbook
Bohemia or Moravia, 2nd quarter (?) of the 15th century

A fully-painted miniature (St. Jerome, f. 228v), two fully-painted initials (ff. 59r, 69v), and three large initials with filigree (ff. 3r, 21v, 41v). The initial on f. 19r that is drawn in red and is reminiscent of Romanesque foliate initials differs completely from the traditional forms of the 15th century. The rest consists of mediocre decoration, e.g., ff. 14r and 229r.
Medieval binding, with applied metalwork.
