This two-volume, large format history Bible (“Historienbibel”)
is illustrated throughout in an artistic style characteristic of
the workshop of Diebold Lauber in Hagenau. This history Bible is
traceable to Constance in the third quarter of the 15th century;
some defects were repaired in St. Gallen in the early 17th century
– one of the early conservation efforts undertaken in this city.
