The Key to Medieval Christian Mythology (Colorized)

 

“Hoc visibile imaginatum figurat illud invisibile verum cuius splendor penetrat mundum cum bis binis candelabris ipsius novi sermonis.” 

“This visible image figures that invisible truth whose splendor penetrates the world with the twin candlesticks of the new word.”

—Hitda Codex, ca. AD 1000, Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt MS 1640, facsimile
