Clm 4517 Abstract:
Englische Version: The Weltchronik (Chronicle of the world)
presented here follows the text of the anonymous
Christherre-Chronik (Christherre chronicle), in which smaller
sections of the chronicles of Rudolf of Ems, Jans Enikel, and
Heinrich of Munich have been inserted. The large-format manuscript,
which breaks off after 40 parchment leaves (in the story of Jacob
and Esau), was originally planned as a complex work, with numerous
miniatures in opaque colors and gold and excellent edge borders
accompanying the prologue. These miniatures include, in medallions
and diamond fields, a number of agile half-figures in motion
bearing scrolls that represent the biblical and ancient authors, as
well as the Church Fathers mentioned in the prologue as sources and
precursors. The miniatures particularly show the Bohemian influence
on the illumination of this manuscript. The chronicle text contains
mainly single-column images, which remained unfinished in their
execution. The manuscript has been in Bavaria since the 16th
century and was in the Benedictine monastery of Benediktbeuern
until 1803, when it was transferred to Munich. It has been part of
the collections of the Bavarian State Library ever since. // Autor:
