Légende

Initial O: The Miracle of the Birds above the Hermitage Altar; Invention et translation du corps de Saint Antoine, about 1465-1470. Additional info: 'The Discovery and Translation of the Body of Saint Anthony' relates the remarkable life story of Saint Anthony Abbot, followed by an account of the miracles associated with his relics after his death, both in French (Invention et translation du corps de Saint Antoine). A full-page miniature divided into four scenes is devoted to each half of the narrative near the beginning of the manuscript, and a series of historiated initials decorates the rest of the text. The illuminations are executed in a grisaille technique, where the predominant purple-grey is sometimes heightened with gold or embellished with other touches of colour.
