Summary
[edit]DescriptionCaligula Joachim.jpg |
English: The Annunciation to Joachim, in The Caligula Troper, British Library [1]
Cotton MS Caligula A XIV; Per BL: "Below an Assumption trope, a picture of the Annunciation to Joachim precedes tropes for the Nativity of the Virgin. Extending into margins and text, the unframed, floating picture shows Joachim fasting in the desert because his childlessness had rendered his earlier sacrifice unworthy. An angel tells him that Anna, his wife, has conceived a daughter, whereupon he orders a massive sacrifice of lambs, calves, and goats, seen frolicking to the side. The blank scrolls were meant as 'balloons' for the dialogue. The story's ultimate sources are in Greek apocryphal texts." |
