Légende

Border with David's Return with Goliath's Head; Prayer Book of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, about 1525-1530. Additional Info: As the young David returns, victorious in battle and carrying the head of Goliath, beautifully dressed women emerge from an impressive castle playing musical instruments to greet him. Medieval Christians saw this episode, which marked the Israelites' triumph over the Philistines, as an Old Testament prefiguration of Christ's Entry into Jerusalem, depicted on the facing page.
