What unites manuscripts VIII A 3 (Bible of the scribe Zikmund) and IX D 3 (Isidorus Hispanensis)? It is the personality of the "painter." In fact, we don't know much about him - we don't know his name. Perhaps only that he worked in Bohemia at the beginning of the 15th century.

In the breviary NatLibCZ VI F 12a from the first half of the 14th century, various monsters settled in initials! All are the work of a single painter, perhaps a scribe of the manuscript itself. Although their quality is not very high, it brings a great revival to the manuscript.
