Christ Appearing to His Disciples

Byzantine (Artist)
late 13th century
ink and pigments on good quality, smooth parchment without defects
(Manuscripts and Rare Books, Medieval Europe )

This page once prefaced the Gospel text of John in Mount Athos at the Monastery of Great Lavra (MS A76), dating to the late thirteenth century. The recto this page shows St. John seated (Walters W.530.GR). Other detached leaves from this manuscript are now found in Paris, École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts (Mn.Mas 2), and St. Petersburg, National Library of Russia (MS gr. 305).
