Menologion of Basil II
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Menologion of Basil II (also called Menologium of Basil II, Menology of Basil II) is an illuminated manuscript designed as a church calendar or Eastern Orthodox Church service book (Menologion) that was compiled c. 1000 AD. It includes 430 miniature paintings by eight artists. It was unusual for a menologion from that era to be so richly painted. It currently resides in the Vatican Library (Ms. Vat. gr. 1613).[1][2] A full facsimile was produced in 1907.[3]
