The Passional der Kunigunde was created between 1312 and 1321 and is a collection of spiritual texts in Latin that are linked by the common theme of the Passion . The illuminations are an example of the highest artistry in their time and come from the canon and scribe Beneš. The Dominican Kolda von Colditz wrote at least two texts . The dedication picture shows Kunigunde on a throne with the arms of Bohemia and the Přemyslids .
