Notes

• St. Mark the Evangelist
   
• This miniature once marked the beginning of the Gospel Lesson of Mark in a book of hours. Here, as in other examples of Evangelists 'portraits' in the Middle Ages, Mark is portrayed as a contemporary scribe seated at a writing desk. He is accompanied by his symbol, the lion.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a cutting with a miniature from the Gospel Lessons from a book of hours. The text is from the second chapter of the Gospel of Mark.
   
• This manuscript can be dated to ca. 1480.
