Fol. 292v, Jeremiah, historiated initial V, the stoning of Jeremiah

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with yellowed pages. The left page displays a large initial letter 'V' in blue, gold and red, accompanied by a colorful illustration depicting a scene. The illustration features a man being stoned by a group of people. The man is dressed in a blue and gold robe and is positioned on the ground. Several individuals, some wearing blue robes and others wearing brown robes, are shown throwing stones at the man. The scene is framed by a blue and gold border. The text on the pages is written in Latin and appears to be in a medieval script. The text is presented in black, red, and blue ink. A large initial letter 'I' is visible on the right page, and the top of the left page features a title in blue, gold, and red letters that reads "IERE".
