This manuscript is written in a bold hand, with black ink, and is illuminated with rude portraits of the Evangelists. |
On it is a crux ansata, with two figures at the sides, both in front and behind, believed to be the four Evangelists. |
Each of the four Evangelists is accompanied by their respective symbol in their miniature portraits in the manuscript. |
In the centre is the Madonna and Child enthroned in a vesica above six saints, and surrounded by the symbols of the Evangelists. |
Eighteen ornate towers represent the Apostles, Evangelists, Jesus and Mary. |
One of these, a pocket gospel book with portraits of the Evangelists, is in the Bodleian Library in Oxford, England. |
