Two full-page miniatures, one full-page drawing St. Luke Gospel of Luke Full-page miniature St. John Gospel of John Full-page miniature Christ appearing to his disciples after the Resurrection Gospel of John (John 20:19-23) Full-page drawing Although the image on this leaf is painted in wash, it appears to be the work of the same hand as the Evangelists.
