Notes

• Christ in Majesty
   
• In this miniature, Christ appears within an almond-shaped mandorla and seated upon the arc of a sphere. He holds in his left hand an orb that represents the world while he makes a gesture of blessing with his right. In each corner are the symbols of the four evangelists. This miniature may have once decorated a psalter, as images such as this were sometimes included at the beginning of the Book of Psalms. However, as the imagery of the miniature relates to the Last Judgment, it may have decorated any number of types of religious manuscripts. As the cutting lacks any text, it is difficult to identify the context for which this image was made.
