The 14 pages of miniatures are all composed in the same way: there are four bordered scenes on each page that have to be followed from right to left, just as when reading Hebrew. The miniatures were executed by two anonymous northern Spanish illuminators. This scene on folio 9r depicts the Pharaoh on the throne, surrounded by three advisors. The Princess stands before him with the infant Moses in her arms, accompanied by two servants. ## Related artworks - [Alba Bible]() - [Alfonso the Wise: Cantigas de Santa Maria]() - [Alfonso the Wise: Cantigas de Santa Maria]() - [Antiphoner]() - [Astrological Treatise]() - [Beatus of Liébana: Commentary on the Apocalypse]() - [Beatus of Liébana: Commentary on the Apocalypse]() - [Beatus of Liébana: Commentary on the Apocalypse]() - [Beatus of Liébana: Commentary on the Apocalypse]() - [Beatus of Liébana: Commentary on the Apocalypse]() - [Beatus of Liébana: Commentary on the Apocalypse]() - [Beatus of Liébana: Commentary on the Apocalypse]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
