Englische Version: This early 15th-century missal was written and
illuminated by Petrus Krüger from Breslau for the abbot of Saint
Emmeram, Ratisbon (present-day Regensburg). One of the original
illuminations (folio 32v), however, has been largely replaced by a
miniature that for stylistic reasons has been ascribed to the
Ratisbon painter Berthold Furtmeyr (active 1460-1501). This
miniature equals, in style and artistic quality, the picture pages
in the Salzburg feast missal, Furtmeyr's mature masterpiece. Apart
from the Furtmeyr crucifixion group, the manuscript contains two
other remarkable miniatures. The first portrays Abbot Petrus
Pettendorfer, identifiable by his coat of arms, kneeling in front
of the patron saints of the church: Emmeram, Dionysius, and
Wolfgang (folio 10v). The second miniature by Krüger displays the
expectant Virgin. In addition to the miniatures, 53 initials
referring to the ensuing texts for the mass and five initials with
leaves and tendrils decorate the manuscript. The miniatures and the
initials are painted in gouache opaque watercolors: blue, red,
orange, green, rose, yellow, brown, and gold. The iconography
reflects elements from the Ratisbon or the Bohemian traditions, the
technique and the bright contrasting colors derive from Silesian
influences. Subjects:
