EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "BOOKS: INCUNABULUM, c1470. The Incredulity of St. Thomas" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of medieval Christian literature and artistry. Taken from a Netherlandish block-book called Biblia Pauperum, dating back to around 1470, this page showcases the biblical scene depicting the incredulous encounter between Jesus Christ and Saint Thomas.
