Less interesting manuscripts from Regensburg/Prüfening

A Collection of links to 12th C Manuscripts from the Regensburg/Prüfening Abbeys. Pictures of costuming interest are annotated.

Rupert von Deutz, "De officiis divinis" (München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Cod. lat. 14355)
Prüfening (Regensburg), 1140/1150


Two texts from Hieronymus and two papal directives (München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Cod. lat. 13102)
Prüfening (Regensburg), before 1140

"Augustini in actus sancti Johannis tractatus" (München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Cod. lat. 13085)
Prüfening (Regensburg), around 1140

  • fol 89: Wandering Jew (unfinished sketch) -What looks like a straw hat with an exaggerated point. Jews were represented in a conical hat, I think this is a characature of one, complete with exaggerated beard.
  • other images: [183v]

Rhabanus Maurus, "Explaination of Matthew's Gospel" (München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Cod. lat. 13032)
Prüfening (Regensburg) before 1140

  • folio 1: Initial M with King - He might have a separate piece skirt. Rippled sleeves on tunic (not shirt).
  • Other images: [6], [119v], [183v].

exegetical (relating to exegesis) manuscript (München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Cod. lat. 14398)
Prüfening (Regensburg), around 1140

  • folio 1a: royal portrait - A thin (perhaps sketched and not filled in?) band of trim on the forearm as well as at the wrist. Also a decorative roundel on the cloak.
  • folio 1v: The author Bede- decorative bands on forearm and bicep. A sideways keyhole neckline.
  • other images: [folio 2].

Haymonis "Exposition to the letters of the Apostle Paul" (Handschrift, München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Cod. lat. 13036)
Prüfening (Regensburg), 1146/1155,

Gradual or Antiphon, (München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Cod. lat. 10086).
Prüfening (Regensburg), 1176/1200,

Gospels and prayerbok, (München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Cod. lat. 14444).
Prüfening (Regensburg), 1186/1200
Well apart from a nice image of a sideways keyhole neckline in the first post, if you've read this far, you've seen a lot of average pictures that aren't particularly useful for costuming. Sorry. Had to cross them off my list.
