October 21 & 28: The Cloister’s Apocalypse: A 14th Century Illuminated Book of Revelation, Regina Boisclair, PhD (Virtual)
The Book of Revelation speaks of A world. The author conveyed to his original readers that the Roman Empire would fall and Christian martyrdom would cease. While all of history has many of the same issues (war, famine, persecution, etc) the Book of Revelation is often misunderstood when it is read as historical prophecy of the end of THE world. These sessions feature the charming illuminations of the Book of Revelation from a medieval manuscript. It begins with a summary of the nature of apocalyptic literature and an overview of the text.
