Title: Velislav Bible , Velislavova
bible, or Biblia picta Velislai
Date of Origin: about AD 1340
The Velislav Bible plays a key role
in Bohemian manuscript
painting of the first half of
the fourteenth century,
It is one of the most beautiful
medieval
Bohemian manuscripts. It is a heavily
illustrated
manuscript that contains only short
selections of the
text, that instruct the reader about
the story depicted.
Originally, there were 800 scenes,
but many are missing.
Today,
the
manuscript contains 747 pictures from The Old
Testament and The New Testament.
Unfortunately, what would be the most treasured
images are missing.
It shows the
"Passion of Christ, but the final grande
is
missing, namely the scenes with the
carrying of the cross and
the crucifixion itself."
Scholar
L u c i e D o l e ž a l o v á
explains:
“The fact that the
scenes of the Passion of Christ are missing is,
however,
probably due to the reception of the Velislav Bible
rather than some secret
plan; the depictions of Jesus on the cross were
frequently used for meditation in
the context of personal devotion, and thus it is
possible that a fervent reader
tore out from the codex the leafs with the
Passion.”
Was the purpose of this Bible to be
for the exclusive possession of some rich prince or
queen ?
This Bible is stored at National
Library of the Czech Republic. It is considered a
national treasure and has been studied intently by
many there. Scholar Lucie Doležalová has published
an impressive academic paper on it. She goes into
great detail examining the unique qualities of this
Bible. She proves that this Bible was not intended,
nor was it used as a prop on some coffee table as a
trophy for rich royalty. She states, “the
Velislav Bible was indeed read is made clear
from the Czech and Latin glosses which date to the
end of the 14th or the beginning of the
15th century, and the German glosses which date
to the 17th.”
Interestingly she notes that , “Lenka
Panušková and Anna Kernbach persuasively argued that
the book might have been produced for the school
at Vyšehrad in Prague.
(See the contributions of Panušková and Kernbach in
Panušková, ed. [fn. 24])”
She brilliantly explains how the
pictures and the text, which at least often is not
verbatim scriptural quotations, are meant to be an
aid in helping a person remember and learn the many
biblical stories therein.
“The Velislav Bible, just like other
medieval Latin retellings and
mnemonic tools, operated within an
environment in which the Bible
was generally known.
Thus, these texts work on the assumption that
the readers are familiar with the
Bible, and they offer neither a basic
initiation to, nor a coherent
explanation of the biblical text. Instead,
they provide memory triggers.”
She makes a convincing case that the
arrangement of the Velislav Bible in regards to the
order of the scenes as well as the text shows that
its purpose was to implant into the readers mind
both the stories of the Bible as well as their God
given purpose.
“Although the moral improvement in
the reader is not explicitly
stated as an aim in medieval biblical
mnemonics and retellings, they strive to make the
readers internalize and accommodate the Bible in
their memory exactly with moral edification in mind.”
She carefully points out the
differences between the Velislav Bible and mnemonic
works based on symbols. Velislav Bible depicts
scenes of the Bible, while the mnemonic works reduce
biblical scenes into symbols for the purpose of
making mnemonic visualizations. Then she notes,
“Scenic rather than symbolic approach to depicting
biblical contents obviously does not result in
lesser degree of memorability.”
“All is set within the context of
salvation history and stresses the necessity of
distinguishing between good and evil and of
obedience to God. It is not a mnemonic aid in a
strict sense, although it is closely connected to
memory.”
She explains how the arraignment of
the material puts emphasis on important and powerful
women in the Bible.
Writing about the books of Judges and
Judith she says, “In both the story of Samson
and the story of Judith an important role is played
by a beautiful and dangerous woman — Delilah
manages to lure out of Samson the secret of his
strength and thus destroys him, while Judith
enchants and inebriates (the King Nebuchadnezzar’s
commander in chief of his armed forces,) Holofernes”
and dispatches him before he carries out his plan to
kill all the Jews.
“Samson is a prototype of Christ
— he is born in order to save Jews
from the subjection to Philistines,
and he dies while performing this
mission. Judith all by herself kills
Assyrian leader Holofernes.”

And
unfortunately the folio after 148 is also missing.
It
would be reasonable suppose it would have been a
depiction
of the
catch of the 153 Fish.
See
148v:
Jesus eats before the disciples (Lk 24: 41-43),
Jesus appears to the disciples at Lake Tiberias
(Jn 21: 1-3)
If you
compare the following it is easy to make out some of
the text
manifestavit - appears.
ihesus -
Jesus.
mare
Tiberiadis - Sea of Tiberias.

Nathanaël
Second line :
filii Zebedæi -sons of Zebede … duo -two (more
Apostles)
Petrus: Vado piscari. Dicunt ei: Venimus et nos
tecum.
Peter : I am going out fishing; and they said, We,
too, will go with thee.
Biblical themes or images are
contrasted.
Jesus Christ is shown with a halo
around His head,
while the Anti-christ is shown with a
little devil next to him.
"The basic topic is distinguishing
good from
evil rather than a warning from a
real embodiment of evil and the
approaching the end of the world."
