I. 412\) ## Commentary Passionary around 1050 Manuscript \(II. I. 412\) Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Florence This manuscript, which survived only in a dismembered and rearranged form, contains an account of the lives of the martyrs. It belonged to the Benedictine Abbey of Saints Flora and Lucilla in Arezzo. Some pages are decorated with illustrations of one or more saints. The human figure is shown either full or half-length, either beside the text or within the initial. On folio 39 the figures of Saints Faustinus and Giovita are detached from the text and occupy a part of the space usually allotted to the writing. The decoration is markedly influenced by Byzantine art. ## Related artworks - [Alessandro Cortesi: Poem]() - [Antiphonary]() - [Antiphonary]() - [Antiphonary]() - [Antiphoner]() - [Antiphoner]() - [Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics]() - [Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics]() - [Armiranda]() - [Aulus Gellius: Noctes Atticae]() - [Averulino: On the Architecture]() - [Baldo Martorelli: Grammar]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
