Notes

• St. Elizabeth of Hungary
   
• This miniature once marked the Suffrage to St. Elizabeth of Hungary (d. 1231). St. Elizabeth was revered for her piety and charitable acts. After the death of her husband, the German landgrave Ludwig IV of Thuringia (d. 1227), St. Elizabeth renounced her worldly wealth and devoted herself to the care of the poor and sick. She is shown here holding a purse from which she has taken several coins to give away. The three crowns together at her feet are her attributes.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a cutting with a miniature from a book of hours. The rubric at the bottom of the leaf refers to the prayer to St. Elizabeth that would have begun on the next leaf in the original manuscript.
