JPEG file comment | MINIATURIST, English
(active 1160-1175 in Winchester) Winchester Bible 1160-75 Illumination on parchment Cathedral Library, Winchester This manuscript of 468 folios (580 x 396 mm) contains the Bible in two volumes. It is illustrated by 64 initials, 46 pages are fully illuminated. The scene in the initial A at the beginning of the Book of Daniel has generally been interpreted as the Babylonian King Nabuchadnezzar at the table, in the presence of the three Hebrew children in the foreground who are to be trained to serve at court. However, it could be also a depiction of the Feast of King Belshazzar, for which he had the golden and silver vessels taken from the Temple of Jerusalem brought in, shortly before the famous moment when the ghostly fingers write "Mene Tekel" on the palace wall - message proclaiming the imminent destruction of the Chaldean empire.
