This manuscript, possibly created in Augsburg around 1580, contains more than 400 illustrations of dresses, manners and customs of the countries of Europe and the East (especially the Ottoman Empire), as well as Africa and America. With the exception of some clearly fantastic images (such as people with faces on their chests, with animal heads, or with only one leg), all illustrations look accurate. Among the topics depicted are the clothes and customs of people from various social groups in Scandinavia, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, France, England, Flanders; the Greek patriarch, the "exotic" peoples of Asia and Africa, and the Indians of the New World.
