• Resumen

  • The essay is dedicated to one of the principal manuscript illuminators active in Bologna during the second quarter of the 1400s, the so-called Master of 1446. The artist's name comes from the "Statuti della Compagnia dell'Ospedale di Santa Maria del Baraccano", the starting-point for the reconstruction of his oeuvre. The article presents two newly-discovered works of his, a "Book of Hours" enriched by an illuminated initial with a "Saint (Dominic)", and a copy of Bartolo da Sassoferrato with a decorated frontispiece depicting a beautiful scene of medieval teaching. The author also provides an outline of the artist's place within the context of Bolognese book decoration, rejecting an earlier suggestion regarding the fusion of his catalogue with that of the Master of 1428, another Bolognese artist who was a primary source for the style of our illuminator.
