Both images are from Thomas Fremperger's Historia Translationis Tunice Iesu Christi de Hungaria ad Civitatem
Coloniensem...[Cologne: L. Renchen, c. 1500]. Quarto. Nizhni Novgorod 0355a; 1302a. HC. 8721. IH. 1360. This may be a unique copy.
Fremperger was probably chaplain to Frederic III and to Maximilian, and saw the relic known as the "blue robe of Christ" on St. Margaret's Island
(an island in the Danube at Budapest)
and subsequently Cologne. See more here.
