The Apocalypse of the Dukes of Savoy is a manuscript of the Christian biblical book of the Apocalypse with commentary. It was commissioned in 1428 by Amadeus VIII, Duke of Savoy (later Pope Felix V), who employed Jean Bapteur and Peronet Lamy to illuminate the volume. The illumination remained unfinished until Jean Colombe completed the miniatures in the 1480s at the behest of Charles I, Duke of Savoy. Every page boasts a half-page miniature and painted border decoration.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
