Notes

• The Virgin and Child
   
• This miniature contains no text to identify a source if it indeed came from a manuscript book. Rather, it may have served as a type of devotional image known by the German term 'Andachtsbild'. These images were used by individuals in private devotional practice. The Christ Child has a rosary around his neck. The original owner may have looked at this image while praying the Rosary, a common practice in the late Middle Ages.
