This illustration by the 11th-century artist Facundus depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation. The top section shows an angel, enveloped in clouds, handing a small, closed book to a man. Below, a priest (likely St. John) stands in a temple-like structure. He is holding a staff and is measuring the temple with it. This illustration, with its vibrant colors and symbolic imagery, exemplifies the artistic style of the period and its focus on biblical narratives.
