The present manuscript was copied in Milan in 1331 and dedicated by its scribe to Azzone Visconti \(d. 11339\), ruler of Milan, who revived the idea of Lombard League with Milan as its capital. Folio 39 of the manuscript depicts the Death of Jacob and Joseph. This illustration displays an extraordinary range of human emotions and comportment.

At the bottom, men wait on a bench outside the death chamber, not yet aware of what has occurred. ## 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]()
