## Commentary

Codex Manesse 1310-40 Manuscript \(Codex Pal. Germ. 848\), 355 x 250 mm Universitätsbibliothek, Heidelberg On folio 82v the cloack of the kneeling knight is decorated with the letter &#34;A&#34;, probably the initial of his ideal woman. The picture comes from the most extensive collection of German songs \(Minnesang\), the &#34;Mannesische Liederhandschrift&#34; created probably in Zurich. Rüdiger and Johannes Manesse collected the songs from several smaller songbooks. The codex contains 138 miniatures made by at least four different artists.
