illuminated Apocalypse manuscripts were produced in England\u2014probably in London\u2014in the second quarter of the fourteenth century: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/facsimiles\/toulouse-apocalypse-facsimile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Toulouse Apocalypse<\/a>, an Apocalypse in the British Library (London, British Library, MS Add. 18633), and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/facsimiles\/corpus-apocalypse-facsimile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Corpus Apocalypse<\/a> in Cambridge. <strong>Their primary texts and the style and iconography of their imagery are very similar<\/strong>, but none is a direct copy of one of the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What sets these three manuscripts apart from the many other illuminated English Apocalypse manuscripts is their bringing together of the Latin text of the Apocalypse from the Christian Bible, <strong>a translation of the biblical text into Anglo-Norman<\/strong> (the French spoken in England at the time), and a prose commentary in Anglo-Norman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Glimpse into Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Corpus Apocalypse\u2014probably a bit later than the other two\u2014is the most sumptuous, but <strong>the manuscript now in Toulouse is the most interesting for what it reveals about the development of this particular type <\/strong>of illuminated Apocalypse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Episodic Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><a

three manuscripts, Saint John the Divine&#8217;s vision of <strong>the events leading to the end of time is detailed in more than a hundred episodes.<\/strong> First comes an image, customarily a framed rectangular miniature extending across the two columns of text. Three snippets of text related to that image follow: the biblical text in Latin, then a translation of the Latin into French verse, and then commentary on the episode in French prose. A pen-flourished initial introduces each text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Orderly Arrangement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Toulouse-Apocalypse-05x.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Toulouse-Apocalypse-05x.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Toulouse-Apocalypse-05x.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Toulouse-Apocalypse-05x-300x241.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The scribe of the Toulouse codex endeavored to fit these three bits of text into columns of equal length, but he was only sometimes successful. When not, <strong>an adjacent miniature might be of irregular shape to fill the space<\/strong>. In the other two manuscripts, there are far fewer irregularities, suggesting that the scribe of the Toulouse manuscript first combined these texts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taking Advantage of Available Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the miniature of the pouring out of the seventh vessel (Apocalypse 16:17), the illuminator of the Toulouse Apocalypse takes advantage of the taller right half of the miniature to make <strong>the representation of Christ in Majesty very imposing<\/strong>, entirely in keeping with what it represents: &#8220;a great voice out of the temple from the throne saying &#8216;It is done&#8217;.&#8221; In the other two manuscripts, the scene is in a rectangular miniature with Christ in Majesty squeezed into the upper right corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Words Made Physical<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/corpus-apocalypse-facsimile-edition-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/corpus-apocalypse-facsimile-edition-01-750x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/corpus-apocalypse-facsimile-edition-01-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/corpus-apocalypse-facsimile-edition-01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/corpus-apocalypse-facsimile-edition-01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/corpus-apocalypse-facsimile-edition-01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Although not unique to this group of Apocalypse manuscripts, a noteworthy feature is the <strong>transformation of figured language into image<\/strong>. For example, in all three, when a voice &#8220;like a trumpet&#8221; addresses John (Apocalypse 4:1), the miniature depicts an angel blowing a trumpet over the head of the seated saint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Toulouse-Apocalypse-11-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Toulouse-Apocalypse-11-4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Toulouse-Apocalypse-11-4-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A surprising example (at Apocalypse 10:1), found in the Toulouse and London codices, is <strong>the transformation of the great angel&#8217;s feet &#8220;like pillars of fire&#8221; into stone pillars<\/strong>. The angel&#8217;s feet are more conventionally rendered as flames in the Corpus Apocalypse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Images Transcend Text<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The manuscripts are so densely illustrated that, in at least one instance, <strong>a pair of miniatures illustrating separate events can be seen as a composite image<\/strong> in the Toulouse and London manuscripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Near the climax of the biblical narrative, an angel with a golden measuring rod appears to John (Apocalypse 21:15), and a miniature is devoted to the subject. The Heavenly Jerusalem is pictured on the facing page. By including the detail of the angel holding John&#8217;s wrist and leading him, the illuminator turns the two images into a composite scene of <strong>the angel urging John forward to experience his vision of the celestial city<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/facsimile-edition-01-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/facsimile-edition-01-2-750x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/facsimile-edition-01-2-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/facsimile-edition-01-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/facsimile-edition-01-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.facsimilefinder.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/facsimile-edition-01-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As captivating as the details of the imagery are, there is no mistaking the disturbing nature of the <strong>multi-headed beasts, natural disasters, and mischievous demons<\/strong> described in Saint John&#8217;s vision and represented in the manuscripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explore with Liz Teviotdale the mesmerizing world of three closely related illuminated Apocalypse manuscripts from 14th century England.
