This art piece, a fine example of Central European Gothic art, is valued especially for its depictions of the Tartar invasion of Europe (Silesia). HistoryBased on Hedwig's hagiography ({{lang-la|Vita beatae Hedwigis}}), the illustrated codex was produced in 1353 at the court workshop of Hedwig's descendant, Duke Louis I of Legnica, in Lubin. Duke Louis, the vassal of the Bohemian king and from mother's side his relative, while from his father's side a member of the branch of the Polish royal Piast dynasty, wanted through this opus to contribute to celebration of his famous ancestor and family. Writer (or even illuminator?) of the manuscript was certain Nicolaus of Prussia (Nycolaus Pruzie).[2] According to a letter by Bishop Preczlaw of Pogarell he dedicated it to the newly (1369) established collegiate church at Brzeg ({{lang-de|Brieg}}).{{source?|date=October 2016}} Upon the Protestant Reformation and the dissolution-secularization of the Brzeg collegiate chapter in 1534,[3] the codex was moved to local gymnasium. During the devastating events of the Thirty Years' War the book was transferred to the town of Ostrov (Schlackenwerth) in western Bohemia (this country and Silesia were part of the same Crown at that time) where was subsequently, after 1671, kept at Piarist monastery. Later, it was purchased by Jewish Gutmann family from Vienna. In 1938 Nazi authorities in Austria confiscated Gutmanns' art collection, yet previous owners regained the manuscript in 1947 and passed with it to Canada.[1] For 19 years (1964–83) the manuscript had been returned to Europe again[1] – during that time a facsimile edition, edited by the German art historian Wolfgang Braunfels, was made and published (1972) in Berlin as Der Hedwigs-Codex von 1353 – but finally, the J. Paul Getty Trust from USA has purchased it in 1983. The original manuscript is today part of the Getty Museum collection under the signature Ms. Ludwig XI 7. Bibliography
