Illumination of books and manuscripts -- France -- 15th century -- Specimens.
Description
Lauds: Visitation. Who is greeting whom? In the visitation scene, Elizabeth, the future mother of John the Baptist, meets Mary, the future mother of Christ. Behind them is the house of Zacharias, Elizabeth's husband. As the illustration seems to reflect, it is unclear whether Elizabeth greets Mary, or Mary greets Elizabeth. Latin texts have Elizabeth proclaiming what would become the popular Magnificat hymn ( Magnificat anima mea Dominum ). Greek texts (though unavailable to illustrators before 1516) present Mary as the speaker.
