Several illustrated chronicles were created in the Old Swiss Confederacy in the 15th and 16th centuries. They were luxurious illuminated manuscripts produced for the urban elite of Bern and Lucerne, and their copious detailed illustrations allow a unique insight into the politics and daily life of late medieval Switzerland on the eve of the Reformation. The most important of these chronicles are the works of the two Diebold Schillings, their luxurious execution, as well as their content reflecting the growing confidence and self-esteem of the leaders of the confederacy after their spectacular successes in the Burgundian Wars.

  • Die Schweizer Bilderchroniken sind eine Gruppe von Pergament- und Papierhandschriften aus dem späten 15. und dem frühen 16. Jahrhundert, die das Erstarken, die militärischen Erfolge und den Aufstieg der Eidgenossenschaft zu einer politischen Macht in Europa für die urbane Elite dokumentieren – sie sind „eine Quelle des schweizerischen Nationalbewusstseins.“ Für die Herstellung wurde auf die längst bekannten Techniken von Buchdruck und Holzschnitt verzichtet und die Handschriften wurden als grosse Kostbarkeiten gehortet.

  • Dans l'ancienne Confédération suisse, une chronique illustrée est un manuscrit écrit entre le XVe et le XVIe siècle sur papier ou parchemin et richement illustré. Écrits profanes à destination des élites urbaines de Berne et Lucerne, elles offrent un important témoignage politique, social, militaire, diplomatique de la vie à la fin du Moyen Âge. Les plus importantes d'entre elles sont l'œuvre des deux Diebold Schillings, le Vieux et le Jeune qui réalisent des commandes peu après les succès militaires des guerres de Bourgogne. (fr)
