St. Peter preaching to a group of followers
This miniature once marked the beginning of one of Peters Epistles in the deluxe illustrated Bible from which it was taken. The Bible historiale was a popular French translation of biblical history, especially among royal and aristocratic patrons. This miniature is one of several cuttings in the Free Library from the same manuscript illuminated by an artist in the workshop of the Virgil Master, a prominent illuminator known for his work in a copy of Virgil's Aeneid and Bucolics now in the Biblioteca Laurenziana in Florence, Italy.
Solomon and the Queen of Sheba
This miniature once marked the beginning of one of the Solomonic books in the deluxe illustrated Bible from which it was taken.
St. John the Evangelist preaching to a group of followers
This miniature once marked the beginning of one of Epistles of John in the deluxe illustrated Bible from which it was taken.
Baruch reading his book to the Babylonians
This miniature once marked the beginning of the deutero-canonical Book of Baruch in the deluxe illustrated Bible from which it was taken.
These cuttings have been dated to ca. 1400-1405.
These are pages that we pulled aside that disrupted the flow of the manuscript reader. These may be bindings, inserts, bookmarks, and various other oddities.
