The article analyses the Hungarian Angevin Legendary, a 14th-century Bolognese luxurious codex ordered by the Hungarian royal court (now kept in Rome, New York, Paris, St Petersburg, and Berkeley), even in its fragmented state belonging to the richest illuminated manuscripts of saints’ lives. In the first part of the paper, the individual pictorial elements constituting the structure of a picture are analysed, continued with the problem of repetitive compositions in the second part.
