Leaves from Paradise
The Cult of John the Evangelist at the Dominican Convent of Paradies bei Soest
Samenvatting
A pair of leaves recently acquired by Houghton Library presents an opportunity to examine the illuminated sequence composed in honor of John the Evangelist. The richly decorated fragments promise to transform our understanding of the special place of Christ’s “beloved disciple” in 14th-century art, liturgy, theology, and mysticism.
