The Velislaus Bible is an important example of late medieval Bohemian manuscript illustration as it is one of just a few surviving illuminated manuscripts from the region. Made in Prague in the second quarter of the fourteenth century, the original manuscript comprised as many as 800 leaves, of which 188 are extant. Each page features a pair of half-page miniatures and short inscriptions treating subjects from the Christian Bible, the Life of Antichrist, and several saints' lives. The 747 illustrations are tinted line drawings employing a limited palette, a popular technique in late medieval central Europe.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
