The One of Sachsendorf, Codex Manesse

Category
Books and Manuscripts
Condition
Good
Description

The full description in French can be found in the third image. 

The French translates as: Middle Ages doctor treating a fractured leg miniature, Manesse Manuscript, 13th century, University library, Heildelberg.

The rest of the text talking about historical background to the picture.

This is a well-documented leaf of the manuscript, see Wiki page about it: 

https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Der_von_Sachsendorf

I suspect it is actually original leaf, as on the other side there is text. 

Or maybe it is a print, I am not sure. There is more gold color in the original pic on Wiki.

Description

Bird-and-Flower Painting in Traditional Gongbi Technique

This exquisite bird-and-flower painting showcases the traditional gongbi technique, renowned for its meticulous brushwork and vibrant details. Framed elegantly within a bamboo-style frame, the artwork exudes a timeless charm.

Date and Provenance: The painting likely dates from the 1960s to 1980s and is signed and sealed by the artist, adding an element of authenticity and cultural significance.

Inscription: The inscription approximately translates to: "Autumn steers feelings, as a small bird chirps among jade blossoms," capturing the serene and poetic essence of the scene depicted.

Dimensions: The painting measures 12.8 inches by 8.9 inches, with the overall dimensions including the frame being 18.2 inches by 9.4 inches.

There is a tear on the frame and water mark on the bottom of the fabric surrounding the painting. Would really like to know the name of the artist.

Skeleton Drawing

Category
Books and Manuscripts
Condition
Fair
Description

The full description of the drawing can be found in the second image.

The page is numbered 238 and 37. I think that everything that is written inside is in Latin.

I do not think this page was taken from the original manuscript. 

More likely, it was copied in order to be of help to practicing doctors.
