Biblia pauperum
| | Language(s): Latin; Italian | | Incipit: Legitur in genesi iii Cap. quod dixit Dominus serpenti super pectus tuum | | Explicit: Come lo anzolo parla a sancto Zuane evangelista. | | Notes: This ms. significant because it was long believed that the Biblia pauperum did not arrive in Italy from N. Europe until the 16th century. This ms. shows that the form was known in Italy in the 15th century -- it probably was based on a northern model. | |
