Title

Holkham Bible Picture Book - ADD MS 47682

Description

An Anglo-Norman 14th century illuminated manuscript with sections in English on 42 leaves of Parchment, 285 x 210mm. (The British Library: Digitised Manuscripts 2019) This Picture book contains biblical narrative and a Comestor version of the Fifteen Signs before Doomsday. Illustrations of the Fifteen signs are divided into two rose with inspecting captions above. Not all signs are depicted and many blend together into a running narrative composition. Like the Hermann composite this work two contains a full miniature of the Last Judgement. As evident by the patron/artist portrait on folio 1r, a secular workshop created this book for a Dominican Friar. (ibid)
