The Krumlov picture Codex – also know as Liber depictus – has been kept in the Austrian National Library (ander call number Cod 370). Two generations of artists may have works on the creation of this manuskript in the 1340s, or in about 1350 at the latest. In the first chapel Searching for the first reader by Lukáš Reitinger is presented the hypothesis that the Prague and Regensburg canon Peter II. of Rosenbert is the most likely original owner and subsequent donor of the picture codex. The other chapers by Daniel Soukup discuss the topics Jewisch figures in the Liber depictus in the light of the clothing customs of medieval Ashkenaz and of the regulations of Jewish clothing elements and the topic ecclesia et synagoga in the De Lidda miracle in the Liber depictus.
