Légende

Border with the Crossing of the Red Sea; Prayer Book of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, about 1525-1530. Additional Info: Pursued by the Egyptian army up to the shores of the Red Sea, Moses and the children of Israel gain safe passage when God opens a path through the waters for them. The illumination depicts the moment when Moses and the Jews have reached safe ground and the waters close in after them on the doomed Egyptians. The border surrounds a prayer concerning the Baptism of Christ and faces a miniature of the same subject, another famous biblical water scene.
