This manuscript consists of Hugo von Montfort's Lieder, Briefe und Reden ('Songs, Letters and Speeches') (source). It is sparsely illustrated, with its illustrations consisting almost entirely of historiated initials from which foliage borders flow. However, several of the initials contain illustrations of noble women.
