Description

Explore one of the most beautiful medieval Bohemian manuscripts with The Velislav Bible. Published by Amsterdam University Press, this work serves as a significant resource for Central European Medieval Studies. This heavily illustrated manuscript functions as a devotional, mnemonic, and study tool, featuring short text selections designed to guide the reader through the depicted stories. The manuscript includes a wide range of biblical narratives, starting with stories from the Books of Genesis and Exodus. Readers can follow the visions of Daniel, the stories of Samson, and the accounts of Judith. The collection also includes a narrative of the Antichrist followed by Christological parts, and continues through the New Testament with the Book of Revelation. Named after the man shown kneeling before St. Catherine in the final illustration, Velislav, this volume is a vital piece of art history. It provides a unique look into how visual storytelling was used in the late Middle Ages to support religious study and devotion.
