'Turnierbuch. Ritterspiele gehalten von Kaiser Friedrich III. und Kaiser Maximilian I. in den Jahren 1489 - 1511 - BSB Cod.icon. 398' is online at MDZ.
(Tournament book. Knight games held by Emperor Frederick III. Emperor Maximilian I and in the years 1489 to 1511)
The bright, colourful tunics and horse covers make this anonymous manuscript from the mid-1550s an eye catching delight. There is background information available for the keen (in German) [translation]. All of the above images (which are about half or less of the total) have been modestly spot/stain cleaned.

Thank you for posting this, the images are truly beautiful!
I wanna be a knight! (But not to be unhorsed. I think this is the first set of jousting images I've seen where anyone is actually unhorsed.)
While these pictures are much more beautiful, I can't help being reminded of some Czech jousters I photographed a couple of years ago. The real interest there was more in the juxtaposition of jousters and 1970s paneláky rather than in any artistry on anyone's part, although they were fun to watch.
i can't ride horse.., but i will learn :P ikz
Absolutely love this!
