| A large, almost full-page, miniature in blue, green, and red pen and ink in a manuscript of 'Flores Bernardi' from the Benedictine scriptorium of St Augustine's, Canterbury, a bearded Bernard is shown seated on a high chair at a lectern writing in a book with a pen in his right hand and a knife in his left. His crozier leans against his seat. Two small monk-pupils, one of them looking up, and the other reading from an open book he holds in both hands, are seated at Bernard's feet. They are both smaller in scale than Bernard indicating their relative importance. The blessing hand of God comes out of a cloud above Bernard to show that his writing is divinely inspired.
