---|
This Venetian manuscript of the Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso from the end of the fourteenth century contains 234 miniatures. The Paradiso illustrations, however, are inferior in quality. Three of these featured Bernard, two in Canto 31 (this one and f 75v - see MA382), and one Canto 33 (f 76r - see MA383). On the right Dante in a red garment and a nimbed Bernard in a dark brown cowl look up at the Rose with the head of God in the centre and angels and souls and the figure of Beatrice in the petals. |
