The Bible Illuminated: How Art Brought the Bible to an Illiterate World by Karen York, Editor (with Len Woods), copyright by the Museum of the Bible, Inc., 2017, and published by Worthy Books, Franklin, Tennessee, United States.
On page 174, this full-page image at the beginning of the feature on the Breviary of Queen Isabella of Castile, a present to the Queen by her and King Ferdinand's ambassador, Francisco de Rojas. The liturgical book of prayer made by Flemish craftsmen, illuminated by artists such as the Master of the Dresden Prayerbook, the Master of the James IV of Scotland, and Netherlandish painter Gerard David. Caption reads: "Miniature of the Visitation with floral border and text, Breviary of Queen Isabella of Castile, multiple artists, 15th century."
