The 15th-century manuscript of codex palatinus germanicus 148. The left verso page has a fairly standard two-column layout, whereas the recto page on the right utilizes the convention of 'pagina cum textu incluso': A colorful arrangement of rectangular miniatures in the center is surrounded by text that fills up most of the page. Visible in the center are scenes related to Judas' betrayal of Christ, along with four prophets.
