Maciejowski Bible Images Online

Postby Jeffrey Hull » Wed Oct 01, 2003 5:20 pm

Hey Guys,

A friend sent me this link to a re-enactor's site with Maciejowski Bible images:

http://www.keesn.nl/mac/mac_en.htm

My thanks to this Netherlander for hosting such a site.

Admittedly, he has posted a selection of images, nonetheless it is a fine selection, and he has a contents page with short summaries to help you speed through the substance of what is there. I was happy to learn of this site.

Great stuff Jeffrey!

Notice how several of these knights appear to have suffered wounds through their armour? I wonder if this could have been more blunt trauma or actual cuts through the maille. If they had such severe wounds it's difficult to imagine being able to continue using their swords. Could this be another artistic enhancement?

I wonder...

What I'm looking at is on the website under Folio 41 Recto-bottom
(can't seem to get the picture to work)

many images from this bible are available in book form. The work is entitled "The Book of Kings." I bought it through Amazon.

Here's another great resource to the Maciejowski Bible - this one even has close-ups of certain details from the work.
