12th Century

I'm sad I wasn't able to get a completepicture of this scroll. This was my first (along with Seadna's Willow) scroll using all authentic materials. It is based on the Citreaux Moralia in Job, dated 1111 ad. Which itself is a remarkable work in the history of manuscript illumination and one of my favorites. The latin translation was done by my friend Jay Leminski.
