Resplenduit facies ejus (Matthew 17:2-3) – Graham Keitch

The full-page miniature of the Transfiguration is one of a series of illuminations representing events from Jesus' life in a Byzantine Gospel book. The feast of the Transfiguration is one of the twelve major holidays of the Byzantine church, which explains why the subject received a lavish, full-page miniature in this book.

Matthew 17:2-3 [Latin]

2 And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.

3 And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with [Jesus].

Resplenduit facies ejus sicut sol: vestimenta autem ejus facta sunt alba sicut nix. Et ecce apparuerunt illis Moyses et Elias loquentes cum Jesu.
