Légende

Border with the Adoration of the Name of Jesus; Prayer Book of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, about 1525-1530. Additional Info: Surrounding the beginning of the text devoted to the Holy Name of Jesus, this border conveys the vastness of heaven and the divine power located in Christ's name. God the Father blesses at the top, while the Holy Spirit hovers in the form of a dove in the middle of a group of angels directly below. The radiant circle of golden light represents Christ, the final member of the Trinity, with the Latin abbreviation of the name of Jesus, IHS. At the very bottom, a virtual sea of the blessed adores the Holy Name. Four demons lurk in the lower corners, cut off from the heavenly masses by deep blue clouds.
