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 'Noli me tangere'; Christ showing his wounds to the disciples; the Incredulity of Thomas; Christ and the disciples praying (John 20:17, 20, 27). To the left are a tomb with figures of mourners, a coffin in a tomb, a shroud beside a grave, and misers with money and jewels. In the lower left corner are the Bohun arms. | 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 |
