The Franciscan Bible (Prague, Library of the National Museum, XII.B.13) can be, on the basis of a detailed analysis of its ornaments, connected with the late period of the Padua workshop of Giovanni da Gaibana in the frame of which it represents a work staying closest to the manuscripts fo the peak period of the da Gaibana painting workshop. At the same time it represents also the imaginary peak of the late da Gaibana production. The illuminators of the manuscript build on the peak production of the Padua workshop in all forms of ornaments whether it is their way of constructing initials or individual elements of the decorative morphology.

By a detailed analysis of decoration and collation of this manuscript it was found out that three principal masters participated in its decoration. The top quality of the decoration can be found in the work of the first master continuing the Byzantine, Venetian, and Saxon-Thuringian creation. The second master uses the first master´s work. The work of the third master is quite different as it is connected with original Bohemian production – with the Mater verborum manuscript. This different quality of illuminations allows to suppose that the codex originated in a scriptorium acting somewhere in Bohemia and employing a number of artists and their helpmates.
