Summary/Abstract: The Franciscan Bible (Prague, Library of the National Museum, XII.B.13) can be, on the basis of a detailed analysis of its ornaments, connected with the late period of the Padua workshop of Giovanni da Gaibana in the frame of which it represents a work staying closest to the manuscripts fo the peak period of the da Gaibana painting workshop. At the same time it represents also the imaginary peak of the late da Gaibana production. Th e illuminators of the manuscript build on the peak production of the Padua workshop in all forms of ornaments whether it is their way of constructing initials or individual elements of the decorative morphology.
