Medieval manuscript of the week is the beautiful Bentivoglio Bible, one of the treasures of the Walters Museum in Baltimore. This lovely manuscript dates from around 1220. I love the vividness of the colours, the elaborate historiated initials, and the lovely marginal art. Look, a tiny dragon and a trumpeter!Image source: Walters Museum MS W.151, 188v; Creative Commons 0 licensed. -- source link
