Among the ancient liturgical readings sung on Holy Wednesday is the episode of Christ in the Garden of Olives.
The full-page miniature shows, under a starry sky, this moment of extreme anguish and absolute solitude for Christ. His friends are asleep at the foot of the mountain, and in the distance, coming out of the city, we see the Sanhedrin guards with their staffs, led by Judas, advancing to arrest him.
The manuscript is a monumental Salzburg missal in five volumes, produced between 1478 and 1489 by Ulrich Schreier and Berthold Furtmeyr.
