Catalogue Note
Glockendon was a pupil of Dürer who is best known as an illustrator of illuminated manuscripts. One of his finest works is the missal which he illustrated for Albert de Brandebourg, Cardinal of Mayence, now held in the library of Aschaffenburg. Glockendon was the father of no fewer than twelve children, many of whom became artists and illuminators themselves.
