This article focuses upon the expansion of Italianism into Central Europe in the 14th century in lluminated manuscripts. It deals with selected manscripts of what are known as the Nekcsei Bible, the Anjou Legendary and the Paris fragment of the Latin translation of the Dalimil Chronicle. These illuminated manuscripts are similar in that they may all have been imported to Central Europe from Italy (Bologna) and the possibility arises that their production for the Central European region could somehow have been coordinated. Whereas in the case of the Hungarian orders the clients most probably referred to a single illuminators´ workshop. In the case of the Paris fragment there is only an indirect association with this workshop.
