The miniatures on this page (folio 17r) illustrate events from the life of Christ in two registers, one above the other. The images on this page are devoted to the Adoration of the Magi. At the top we see them standing before King Herod to enquire where the royal child of the prophecy has been born. A scribe points the way to Bethlehem, where, led by the star, they discover the divine child. The picture at the bottom shows the Magi from the East presenting their gifts to the Virgin Mary and the Infant Jesus.
