Douce Apocalypse
1270 Illumination on parchment, 14,6 x 11,4 cm Bodleian Library, Oxford This page depicting St John and the Angel is from the Douce Apocalypse. The influence of the new style found in the books of Louis IX shortly reached England. Henry III, while he commissioned a great many paintings for his palaces and chapels was not a bibliophile. Almost all the painting on a larger scale has vanished and we do not, by way of compensation, possess a nucleus of royal manuscript such as is found in France. Two works survive, however, which, although not commissioned for Henry III, may nevertheless come within this category. One is known as the Douce Apocalypse, the other is the Alfonso Psalter. The Douce Apocalypse, one of an extraordinary number of Apocalypse manuscripts produced during the thirteenth century, was made for Henry III's son, Edward, at sosme date before his accession to the throne in 1272. Thus it probably follows the St Louis manuscripts. Artist: MINIATURIST, English , Douce Apocalypse , 1251-1300 , English , illumination , religious

Alfonso Psalter
1284 Illumination on parchment, 24,1 x 16,5 cm British Museum, London This page depicting four female saints is from the Alfonso Psalter. The influence of the new style found in the books of Louis IX shortly reached England. Henry III, while he commissioned a great many paintings for his palaces and chapels was not a bibliophile. Almost all the painting on a larger scale has vanished and we do not, by way of compensation, possess a nucleus of royal manuscript such as is found in France. Two works survive, however, which, although not commissioned for Henry III, may nevertheless come within this category. One is known as the Douce Apocalypse, the other is the Alfonso Psalter. The Alfonso Psalter was intended for Edward's son, Alfonso. He died in 1294 and some of the decoration of his psalter belongs to a later date. Those parts of the manuscript which belong to the earliest and best phase (before 1284), like the page presented here, show strong French influence.

Manesse Song Collection
1300-20 Illumination on parchment Universit?tsbibliothek, Heidelberg The cloack of the kneeling knight is decorated with the letter "A", probably the initial of his ideal woman.

Book of Prayers of St Elisabeth of Hungary
1220 Illumination on parchment Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Cividale The two scenes in a single frame depict Biblical scenes: the Annunciation and the Birth of Christ. At the left side of each scene a prophet (Amos and Isaias) can be seen. The style of the miniatures reflects the influence of the so-called new-Byzantine style prevailing in the workshops of Erfurt. The codex originally belonged to Sophie, Princess of Bavaria. According to an inscription on page 2, St Elisabeth gave it to the Treasury of the Cividale church in 1220.

Psalter of St Margaret of the House
1259-61 Illumination on parchment Herzog-August-Bibliothek, Wolfenb?ttel Similarly to other Psalters, the first initial B of the text of the first psalm is the most beautifully decorated lettes of the manuscript. In the upper part the half-figure of Christ, in the lower King David palying the harph can be seen. The Hungarian miniaturist alloyed Byzantine, Romanesque elements reaching an individual style. The first owner of the codex was Margaret, daughter of King B?la IV, a nun later canonized.
