Kostbare Koggen: seltene Bilder aus illuminierten Manuskripten und gotischen Kirchen

Abstract: The modern history of the Bremen cog of 1380 begins in October 1962 with pictures of cogs on the seals of medieval Hanseatic cities. Cogs are also known to us today from miniatures in illuminated manuscripts and frescoes in churches. For the German Maritime Museum book "Die Kogge: Sternstunde der deutschen Schiffsarchäologie" (The cog - a defining moment in German maritime archaeology) I succeeded in assembling a large number of images, several of them unknown until now. The aim of my search was to make the book visually attractive. After its publication in 2003, I continued with my search - this time for a twenty-seven-metre-long illuminated wall in the museum's cog exhibition, which was opened in the summer of 2005, and can now present nineteen new finds. As a result, sixty cog pictures - on miniatures, frescoes and etchings - are currently known, and the number prompts me to seek initial answers to two questions: Do the pictures' times and places of origin match the construction
