Miniature with the Apostles Paul and Peter and the Evangelists John, Luke, Matthew, and Mark
(Manuscripts and Rare Books, Medieval Europe )
This image originally faced the beginning of the Acts of the Apostles in a late eleventh-century psalter and New Testament in Mount Athos, Vatopedi Monastery MS 762. It seems likely that in this manuscript, the scribe and illuminator were the same person.
