| Homiliary from the second half of the thirteenth century from the Cistercian abbey of Morimondo. Within the initial A(d sancti ac beatissimi patris) - the beginning of a Sermon by St Ambrose - on the right a standing Bernard, bearded and with a blue nimbus, has a blue book in his left hand while he raises his right hand in blessing a group of seven kneeling monks before him, their hands raised in acknowledgment. A very similar image is found in another manuscript from the same abbey from c 1300 (see MA191).
