Temptation of Christ in the Desert. Latin Psalter (Golden Munich Psalter). England, possibly Oxford workshop, 1st quarter 13th CE. Clm 835, fol. 65r. One of the most lavishly illuminated psalters of the Middle Ages. It includes 91 full-page miniatures, most of which contain gold, in five picture cycles that give an overview of the most important scenes of the Bible, and especially the Old Testament, which is depicted in no fewer than 176 scenes. Among these, several very unusual motifs concerning heroic women are especially noteworthy. The style of the illumination is typical for the transition period between late Romanesque and early Gothic art.
