Manuscript title: Silver Book of the Land Manuscript summary: On 86 leaves of parchment, the Silver Book of the Land contains the statutes of the entire region of Appenzell. It is an assemblage of older legal texts; at a later time more recent statutes were added to it. Following the division of the region of Appenzell that took place in 1597, the book became the property of the Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden and remained valid into the 19th century. Rich decorations consisting of miniatures and initials indicate the great importance attributed to this volume.

Zodiac sign of CAPRICORN in a 14th century manucript on Flickr. The zodiac sign of CAPRICORN is asso

Zodiac sign of CAPRICORN in a 14th century manucript on Flickr.

The zodiac sign of CAPRICORN is associated with the month of December and it is represented by the goat. In most of the standard medieval iconographic compositions, the goat is represented with two horns, standing or seated. For an animal rather familiar to the artists in that time, the portrayal of the goat tends to be surprisingly unrealistic to the extent that the goat is often shown very similar to the unicorn. Variations on this form show a creature with upper body of a goat and lower body of a fish with a tail emerging from a shell. In the modern horoscope the zodiac sign of CAPRICORN covers the period from about 22 December until 19 January. Link to the “Zodiac sign of CAPRICORN” set

Christmas scene in a 15th century manuscript

Christmas scene in a 15th century manuscript by e-codices
Via Flickr:
Christmas, also known as Nativity, refers to the accounts of the birth of Jesus mainly based on the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Traditionally, scenes of Nativity, portray the Holy Family in the stable at Bethlehem. The Christ child is represented lying in a manger or upon the straw, whilst Virgin Mary kneels in adoration before Him. In some scenes Virgin Mary is represented lying next to Jesus. Joseph is portrayed standing at one side. The scene also includes depictions of an ox and a donkey, usually in the background, gazing quietly at the scene in front of them. Some Nativity scenes depict one or more angels who proclaim Jesus as the savior for all people, and portrayals of shepherds who come to adore Him. There are also scenes representing the wise men (The Maggi ) who, after following a star, arrive to Bethlehem to bring gifts to Jesus.
