Decorated Text Page; Prayer Book of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, about 1525-1530. Additional Info:Facing the dramatically powerful image of the Denial of Saint Peter, this page contains a meditational text. Like the facing image, the text focuses on the portion of the Passion narrative in which Peter denies three times that he knows Jesus. An H in the form of a broken branch introduces the beginning of the German text, Herr Iesu Chris[t]e (The Lord Jesus Christ). Various plants, flowers, birds, and insects occupy the border, which completely surrounds the text. The artist's skillful depiction of the natural objects, with shadows beneath them as if they were present on the surface of the page, imparts a three-dimensional quality to the image.
