Bible A, Leaf With The End Of Acts, And The Prologue To And Beginning Of The Epistle Of James, Recto, Unknown

Sacred Leaves Manuscript Collection

The Epistle of James stresses that faith must be backed by action. The Epistle of James emphasizes the practicalities of exercising Christianity. A hybrid with an animal head, mouth open and ears pointed straight back, resides in the initial "A" that opens the prologue to the Epistle. James stands in front of a building in the shape of a tower in the opening initial "P." This historiated initial is one of the tallest among the Bible 'A' illustrations, stretching down 34 lines of text.
