Russian Manuscript - Book of the Holy Trinity - Adam McLean - 06-08-2023
There is a manuscript version of the Book of the Holy Trinity in a Russian library with coloured drawings. It is dated to 1488.
The text is in German with some Latin, so it is likely copied from one of the German originals.
Russian State Library F.183.1 №930.

Someone sent me a link to a French Tarot manuscript at that same site just a few hours ago!

That library also has an alchemical manuscript by Grossschedel von Aicha, whom I think you have studied, Adam?

Grossschedel is best known perhaps for his Calendarium:

The Grossschedel manuscript in the Russian State Library has some fine illustrations of alchemical furnaces and related apparatus.
