AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Manuscript 14410 The Book of Revelation Treccani.
Slight defect on the external case
France, ms. Lat. 14410, Apocalypsis cum figuris
The content
The Lat. 14410 manuscript of the Bibliothèque nationale de France contains the Latin text of the Apocalypse or Book of Revelation, the last book of the New Testament.
The identity of the author, who presents himself to the reader under the name of John, is uncertain and almost certainly not attributable to the same John the Apostle who authored the Gospel, due to linguistic and stylistic differences. Nevertheless, scholars agree in relating the text to circles closest to Johannine teachings.
Written during the reign of Domitian (51-96 CE), around 95 CE, on the island of Patmos, where the author was in exile because of his faith, this book is the only one among those of the New Testament to fall into the genre classified as ‘apocalyptic’.
The text is divided into two parts: the first consists of a letter addressed to seven Christian communities in Asia, while the second presents visions, allegories and symbolism, whose complex meanings have been analyzed by numerous exegetes.
The aim of the Johannine text was to encourage hope in the imminent coming of Christ and perseverance in bearing witness to the Christian truth and, at the same time, to admonish the believers, announcing the coming of the Kingdom of God that will guarantee salvation to the righteous, reserving for the impure “the fiery lake of fire and sulfur.”
Decoration: The manuscript presents 83 miniatures (2 missing), all framed. These occupy the upper half of the page, while the lower part is occupied by the Latin text, masterfully illustrated by the miniatures. The author is still anonymous. There are initially watermarked/ornate initials alternately red and blue.
Provenance: the manuscript belonged to the Library of the Abbey of Saint-Victor, an important intellectual and spiritual center of Paris. The abbey building, after the religious order was suppressed in 1790, was demolished in 1811. The manuscript later became the property of the Bibliothèque impériale, today the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
The case is damaged as evidenced by the photos
