Medieval visions ......

Speaking of knights for a large part of this year, look what I found at the exhibition 'The Genius of Illumination' at the British Library in London:




Mounted knight - Regia Carmina  14th C.
The illuminated manuscript was written in Latin by Convenevole da Prato and it includes 3700 liturgical lines. In addition to that, this same knight was later chosen by the city itself and is now part of its coat of arms.

If you're interested in browsing the British Library, just visit their website
