Canon Table Page
Unknownabout 1120 - 1140
The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States
The last canon table page lists numerical references to those events recounted only in Saint John's Gospel. The eagle, symbol of John the Evangelist, holds a book in its claws as it perches under the large arch. Twisting its head to the left, it looks towards the ox, Saint Luke's symbol, on the facing page.
