Illumination by an anonymous artist. Jesus sits on top of a mountain, surrounded by his twelve disciples, all with a book in their hands. Below them other faithful people listen to the Sermon on the Mount. Among them is a woman in a golden gown. The work is clearly made in a Gothic manner, given all the pinnacles on the construction in the background. It is part of an illuminated manuscript known as La Somme le Roi, written by a certain Frère Laurent (or Lorens), from Orléans. The title translates to "A Survey for a King"; the book is a guide to virtue. In French alone there are over a hundred manuscripts with the text of the guide. |
