Title |
Jousting and Juggling |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: The artist has populated the busy margins of this page with an array of entertaining figures. In the top margin, two bizarre creatures, half-man and half-beast, joust for our amusement. Jousting was an honorable and dangerous sport, but here the artist disregards these serious aspects in favor of a lighthearted parody. In the side margin, a juggler performs tricks, sending a golden plate high into the air and preparing to catch it again with his sticks. The text is Psalm 24:1–4 (23 in the Vulgate). |
