EDITORS COMMENTS
November in the illuminated calendar of 1846 showcases a vibrant and intricately detailed scene from the Book of Hours of the Duke the Anjou, created around 1380. This exquisite image, a chromolithograph in colors and gilt, features the figures of Ezekiel and St. Jude, with the quote from the Epistle to Philemon, "Receive him therefore in the Lord, the faithful brother, fellow soldier, and your fellow laborer in the Lord," written in Latin below. The central figures of the calendar are the biblical prophet Ezekiel, depicted with a scroll and a pair of cherubim, and St. Jude, the apostle and patron saint of lost causes, shown with a staff and a book. Surrounding them are various figures and symbols associated with the month of November. On the left, a centaur with a bow and arrow represents St. Matthew, the evangelist, while a boar and an axe symbolize St. Hubert, the patron saint of hunters. On the right, a goat and a dog represent St. Mathias, one of the twelve apostles, and St. Blaise, respectively. The scene is further adorned with birds, foliage, and castles, adding to the rich and intricate design. This illuminated calendar, published by Henry Noel Humphreys in London in 1846, offers a glimpse into the beautiful and intricate world of medieval illumination, showcasing the skill and artistry of the manuscript tradition.
