XII.\), 275 x 173 mm British Library, London The large codex contains hundreds of illustrations of scenes from the Old and New Testament. It is one of the most outstanding piece of the 14th century English codices. This page \(folio 71v\), shown here, is divided into six fields of different background patterns, all representing the figures of a prophet and an apostle. Their names are at the bottom of the fields: Sofonias-Philippus, Micheas-Matheus, Daniel-Tadeus, Iohel-Bartolomeus, Malachias-Simon, Ezechiel-Mathias. The name of the codex comes from the fact that 200 years after its creation it was given to Queen Mary of Tudor. ## Related artworks - [Acts of the Abbots]() - [Alphonso Psalter]() - [Amesbury Psalter]() - [Anatomical figure]() - [Angels Turning the Spheres of the Universe]() - [Apocalypse]() - [Barberini Gospels]() - [Barberini Gospels]() - [Beda Venerabilis: The Life of St Cuthbert]() - [Benedictional of Archbishop Robert]() - [Bestiary and Lapidary \('the Rochester Bestiary'\)]() - [Bestiary and Lapidary \('the Rochester Bestiary'\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
