The single leaf collection Treasures of Book #Illumination - Mysterious Encounters brings together four marvellous pages, opulently illuminated in gold, from four outstanding #manuscripts from the famous Vatican library. The full-page #miniatures are each enclosed by elaborate floral borders and all represent a Christian iconography: David appears frontally as king, flanked by two female figures; the root of Jesse grows as a white tendril-like tree from the sleeping, enthroned figure; in a vast lush green landscape, Mary appears to Bernard of Clairvaux in a wreath of angels; the events of the Last Supper accompanied by a bas-de-page miniature of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, while his entry into Jerusalem can already be spotted through the window in the background. A wonderful insight into the unique apostolic collection of Christian book treasures.
