Schulz Codex
The Schulz Codex (Full title: The Schulz Codex: Das Meissener Musterbuch Fur Horoldt-Chinoiserien)[1] is a facsimile of Johann Gregorius Höroldt's chinoiserie drawings that were used by the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory during the early 18th century.[2] The original drawings were used by painters in the factory to copy onto porcelain. Because of this, it is commonly used by museums and collectors to compare patterns of early Meissen.[3]
It was published in 1978 by Edition Leipzig[1] and had a limited printing of 1,500 copies, all hand numbered. It consists of one text volume in German, English, French, and Spanish explaining Horoldt's mark on Meissen written by Rainer Behrends, and two volumes of the 132 drawings printed separately to the exact size of the original patterns. They are bundled in a silk-covered slip case and have two Meissen porcelain medallions on them.[4][5]
