This Rudolf von Ems manucript originated in the same area of Zurich
that produced the Manessische Liederhanschrift (Manesse Song
Script). It represents one of the most accomplished examples of
south German book decoration from the time around 1300, with
excellent miniatures illustrating the Chronicle of the World by
Rudolf von Ems and the Stricker's epic poem about Charlemagne and
his military campaign in Spain.
