An exceptional piece significant to art history: the so-called Prayer Book of Duke John Albert I of Mecklenburg. Contrary to a typical book of hours, the focus of the #manuscript is on the visual décor with minimal text accompanying the #miniatures. These miniatures are counted among the best of what 15th century #illumination produced. Individual sheets from Simon Bening, Nikolaus and Albrecht Glockendon, and Sebald Beham were united into a marvelous compendium. Duke John Albert I of Mecklenburg was responsible for it, he inherited the pages from the collection of his famous uncle, Cardinal Albert of Brandenburg, and then had them bound together into a volume. The further history of the manuscript is also an adventurous tale. It was in this way that an unusual manuscript and a true treasure of 16th century illumination came to be!
