Description: | In terms of its style, its heraldry, and details of its text, this volume is a member of a close-knit group of manuscripts made for members of the Bohun family, who were earls of Hereford, Essex, and Northampton for most of the 13th and 14th centuries. It is possible that it was made at the Bohun family castle at Pleshey, a few miles north-west of Chelmsford; John de Teye (probably from Great or Little Tay, a few miles west of Colchester) is recorded as having worked as the family's illuminator there.
The initial contains four scenes: the priests giving money to Judas; Christ sending Peter and John to prepare for Passover; The Last Supper; The Agony in the Garden (Luke 22:5, 8, 14, 41). To the left is the Last Judgement, with some souls climbing a ladder to heaven, while others are taken down to hell. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
