Missale et horae ad usum Fratrum Minorum - Passion of Christ - Gallica

 Salvete Omnes,

in the spirit of the incoming Easter holiday  - and do pray for peace in Ukraine and to stop to the killing of Slavic Christians there..



Ad rem,
here we have another  great example of medieval manuscript illumination with exquisitely painted Passion of Christ - Missale et horae ad usum Fratrum Minorum -  from French National Library digital collections.

The Roman missal here  is a work of  Italian painter (perhaps authored  three manuscripts at Gallica)  and scribe/s who delivered this XIV century luxurious missal  - 


 








and two horse & rider details
