- from our Affiliates
Medieval Illuminated Manuscript ornamented with beautiful floral artistic items. It represents St Luke the Evangelist writing the Gospel. The winged ox is the symbol of this Apostle. The text is the beginning in Latin of the Gospel of Saint Luke, which relates the Annunciation, the announcement made by the angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary of her miraculous conception of Jesus Christ: "In illo tempore, missus est angelus Gabriel a Deo in civitatem Galilaeae, cui nomen Nazareth...". The little image represents this Biblical scene. The whole is beautifully decorated. A great spiritual artwork of Christian culture and history!
