Canon Table Page; Zeyt'un Gospels, 1256. Additional Info:Two elegant birds with their wings spread seem to have just caught the fish wriggling in their mouths. They stand atop a canon table that assembles passages from all four Gospels recounting the same event. Although the lively birds, elaborate decorative panels, candlesticks, trees, and figure-topped columns do not relate to the subject matter of the Gospels, they provide a welcome diversion for the eye in what would otherwise be an undifferentiated page full of information.
