Soubor:Illuminated.bible.closeup.arp.jpg

A closeup of the illuminated letter P in the 1407AD Latin Bible on display in Malmesbury Abbey, Wiltshire, England. It was hand written in Belgium, by Gerard Brils, for reading aloud in a monastery.

The illumination is a capital letter P since the letters following are ETRUS, making the word PETRUS (Peter in Latin).

The text is the beginning of the First Epistle of Peter and reads:
multi:
tudinem peccatorum Explicit
epistola beati iacobi apostoli In
cipit epistola beati petri apostoli prima
Petrus apostolus ihe
su christi ele
ctis adue
nis disper
sionis pon
ti galaciae capadocie asye et
bithinie secundum prescienciam

In some countries this may not be legally possible; if so: Arpingstone grants anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.

The two-dimensional work of art depicted in this image is in the public domain worldwide due to the date of death of its author (if it is was published outside of the U.S. and the author has been dead for over 70 years), or due to its date of publication (if it was first made public in the U.S. before 1923).
