Prayers to the Trinity
Texts and Images
This section of prayers to the Trinity and its three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, received the last painted double opening. A full-page miniature of the Trinity on the left (fol. 157v) faces the beginning of the text framed within a strewn-flower and acanthus border (fol. 158r).
Throne of Mercy Trinity (prayer to the Trinity)
This page was illuminated by the Painter of Additional 15677. The full-page miniature shows God the Father enthroned and supporting Christ’s body, as if just removed from the cross, while the dove of the Holy Spirit hovers between them.
