The volume edited by Milada Studničková (IAH CAS) and Maria Theisen (ÖAW) brings 13 essays in English and German. The publication illustrates how the turbulent end of the 14th century and the socio-political changes of the Hussite period influenced the form of manuscript production. The researchers focus on the relationship between text and image, the function of the depiction, the "mass production" of manuscripts, and the question of what Hussite iconography is. The book also acquaints the readers with unknown or little-known manuscripts.
