The author describes newly discovered fragments of Gothic illuminated manuscripts. Three foils from the State archive of MV SR in Banska Bystrica, Kremnica branch (without sign.) and fragment of icunabule from the Archive of Slovak capital Bratislava (Sign. EC Lad 2/51). In the first archive, the author differentiates between fragments A (Introducing Jesus in cathedral), B (scenes with bishop's consecration of St. Apolinare) and C (figure of blessing Christ). The style of illuminations is characterized by a certain simplicity, but at the same time also by a concrete painter's style known from Prague at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. All three fragments got to Kremnica through Bratislava . The author thus asks, if it's possible that already around the year 1400 a cultural exchange including also liturgical codexes ane even illuminators could exist between Bratislava canonry and Kremnica vicarage. In the second archive, the author analyses the fragment of icunabule portraying king David playing harp. Characteristic figural style and ornamentation reveals the work of the Austrian painter Ulrich Schreier, illuminator of the two volume Hano's Codex. The manuscript was probably ordered by Georg Peltell von Schönberg, priest and diplomat serving the King Mathew Korvin and Emperor Friedrich III.

The Wenceslaus Bible manuscript illumination is a supreme piece among the many splendid manuscript illuminations created at the court of the Luxembourg kings in Bohemia during the second half of the 14th century. However, these manuscript illuminations do not always have an exact dating. Thus, it is highly interesting to reconsider whether the dating of the manuscripts is actually correct, how this dating was done and on what reasons exactly it is based on. This study suggests that the Works on the Wenceslaus Bible started ten years prior to the generally accepted date, i.e. at the end of the 1370s or around the year 1380.

The Book of Hours kept in the Princes Czartoryski Library in Cracow as Ms. Czart. 3467 is a sumptuously illuminated manuscript dated to the early 15th century, purchased by Wladyslaw Czartoryski at the sale of the Ambroise Firmin-Didot library in Paris in 1884. Neither its origin nor its earlier history is known. The manuscript contains seven full-page miniatures with borders (68x62mm), 111 ornamented initials, and vignettes set into the text. The original text of the codex is comprised of the Officium Beatae Mariae, the seven Penitential Psalms, a litany of the Saints, Officium pro Defunctis, Officium Sanctae Crucis, and Officium Sancti Spiritus. The very choice of subject-matter for the miniatures illustrating particular parts of the Hours seems to point to some links with the Paris circle of illuminators; also the style of the painted decoration of the Cracow manuscript appears to be of Paris origin. Equally strong echoes of Paris illumination can be discerned in the non-figural ornamentation of the Czartoryski manuscript. A similar mise-en-page - a miniature in a thin triple frame from which issue small spiky shoots with jagged leaves - appeared in Paris book illumination in the first half of the 14th century; the pattern of a miniature whose frame surrounded the bas-de-page together with a few lines of the text, was popular for a very long time, being still used in the early 15th century. The character of the decoration of the manuscript and the content of the litany justify the hypothesis that the Book of Hours was executed, broadly speaking, in the northern and not southern part of France. The miniatures were painted by a master probably trained in the Paris circle, although the manuscript itself is not linked with the Paris diocese (the litany lacks the patrons of Paris, SS Genevieve and Denys). The other artist, closely cooperating with the author of the miniatures, painted the frames and borders The prayer book may have been commissioned by someone connected with the Franciscan Order, possibly from the region of either Strasbourg, Auxerre, Verdun or Orleans (which would be indicated by the saints invoked in the litany), and produced within the first quarter of the 15th century.

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.
