Manuscript Leaf with the Nativity in an Initial H, from an Antiphonary
Master of the Riccardiana Lactantius
Not on view
The Christmas story is painted with great charm in a pleasing blend of pastel colors and a profusion of floral and leaf ornament. Angels in the sky proclaim Jesus’ birth, but their scrolls mistakenly read Groria and Grolia instead of Gloria—was the scribe fatigued, in haste, or simply a poor speller?
