Item Info

Language: Latin
Folio Number: front 18:2a
Source: Rare Book Department
Notes: Christ before a Judge
Notes: This leaf and four others in the Free Library's collections (Lewis E M 18:1 and 2b-3b) were likely intended for insertion in the same book of hours. Although there is no text on these leaves to confirm this destination, illuminators often painted full-page miniatures on blank parchment that would then be inserted into these popular devotional books. The scene of Christ before one of his judges, for example, commonly prefaced Prime of the Hours of the Virgin or the Hours of the Cross.

The miniature has suffered some damage and several areas have been repainted at a later date.
