The Matriculation Register of the Basel Rectorate, recorded in
manuscript form from 1460 to 2000, contains annual information
notices added by each successive rector as well as lists of
enrolled students. The rich book decoration in the first three
volumes is particularly notable. The work of 3 centuries, it is
easily datable due to the chronogical order in which it was added
and thus provides a welcome demonstration of the art of miniature
painting in Basel.
