Leaves from Paradise: The Cult of John the Evangelist at the Dominican Convent of Paradies bei Soest, Edited by Jeffrey F. Hamburger, Cambridge, Mass.: Houghton Library of the Harvard College Library, 2008. MS cited throughout. HOLLIS
This pair of leaves presents an opportunity to examine the illuminated sequence composed in honor of John the Evangelist, Verbum dei deo natum, within its broader cultural context. Written and illuminated at the Dominican nunnery of Paradies bei Soest in Westfalia as part of a set of liturgical books that are among the most elaborate of their kind from the entire Middle Ages, the richly decorated fragments promise to transform our understanding of the special place of Christ’s “beloved disciple” in 14th-century art, liturgy, theology, and mysticism. The beginning of the sequence is identified as Munich, Graphische Sammlung, inv. 18703.
