The image-text relations between the text and the animals, beasts and half-human hybrids in the margins of manuscript MMW 10 F 50

Master thesis | Arts and Culture (MA)

Manuscript MMW 10 F 50 is a fifteenth-century book of hours written in Middle Dutch with richly decorated margins. The majority of the figures in these margins are animals, beasts and half-human hybrids. What is the meaning of these figures and why were they placed next to religious texts? To which extent do the animals, beasts and half-human hybrids in the margins of MMW 10 F 50 illustrate the text? Through iconographic research and text-analysis it will become clear what the narrative is behind text and image, what text and image communicate and how they relate to each other.
