One of the sources of their work were for many medieval illuminators the so-called Model Books, from which they often took inspiration when crafting illustrations and depictions. The Model Book of Rein, named after where it was composed, the namesake Cistercian abbey near Graz in Styria, is among the finest example of this type of illuminated manuscript. This Model Book was composed by an anonymous artist who depicted scenes taken from everyday life and the animal world. He also included calligraphic initials as well as motives to be used when drawing floor tiles and stained glass windows. This manuscript, crafted during the thirteenth century, is possibly the oldest Model Book to have survived from the medieval period. - [FacsimileFinder]
