Rudolf von Ems' Weltchronik, aka Chronicle of the World, was his last work (and thus written prior to 1254, when he is thought to have died) (source). BLB Donaueschingen 79 also contains The Life of Saint Elizabeth (source).

This manuscript contains numerous biblical, historical and mythologised-historical images in a colourful, distinctive style.

A list of the folios containing illustrations will be added here in due course.
