“Merkt auf, ihr Leute von Luzern” by Peter Spreng – text, about the author, the text, and a little about this miniature

“Legend to the picture on the cover page – The federal oath of the three states and Lucerne on the Weinmarktplatz. The square is surrounded by Gothic wooden and stone buildings; on the right are the two guild houses of the united tanners and innkeepers and the shoemakers, decorated with facade paintings. The towering stone house on the left is the former Raubhaus and later Gawertschenhaus on Metzgerrainle. The wooden fountain had already been replaced by a stone one in Schilling’s time (November 13, 1332).” (Translation courtesy of Google Translate)
