Excerpt from The Trinity College Apocalypse: A Reproduction in Facsimile of the Manuscript R. 16. 2 in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge; With a Preface and Description
We need not spend time in pointing out the attractions which the Apocalypse holds out to the artist. In his presentation of his message the seer has employed means essentially pictorial; the book cannot be read without calling up to the mind's eye a tremendous panorama of images, and the temptation to translate these into visible form was, we see at once, inevitable. This being granted, let us see what the stages were which led up to the producing of the illustrated Apocalypses of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating world of medieval art, specifically focusing on the evolution of illustrated manuscripts of the Apocalypse of St. John. The author traces the artistic lineage of these manuscripts, from early symbolic representations like the Alpha and Omega and the Lamb, to the emergence of full cycles of illustrations in the 8th century. The exploration spans various regions and time periods, encompassing the 8th-century Apocalypse of Treves, the Spanish Beatus manuscripts, and the 11th-century Bamberg Apocalypse. The author delves into the intriguing presence of Greek influences in some illustrations, as seen in the Hortus Deliciarum, and the distinctive characteristics of Russian Apocalypse manuscripts. With a focus on the 13th and 14th centuries, when illustrated Apocalypses flourished, the author examines the different families of manuscripts and their unique features, such as the inclusion of scenes from St. John's life. The analysis extends to tapestries, stained glass windows, and sculptures inspired by these manuscripts, showcasing the widespread impact of their imagery. Concluding with the revolutionary influence of Albert Dürer's prints in the late 15th century, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of how artistic interpretations of the Apocalypse evolved over centuries, reflecting the changing beliefs and anxieties of the medieval world.
