Abstract

"To show that Jesus' suffering and death on the cross in no way called into question his status as Messiah, the Envoy of God, such was the challenge faced by the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and to do this, even before seeing Old Testament realities as prophecies of the New. -- "If, by his ressurection, Jesus had indeed become for the disciples the royal, glorious, messianic figure, expected by Jewish traditions, the rejection of which he was the object as well as his ignominous death seemed contrary to those expectations: the Scriptures did not announce a suffering Messiah. If then the resurrection and glorification confirmed the being-Messiah of Jesus, his death could not be that of a rebel, an imposter, or a blasphemer: it could not be a foreign or contrary to the ways of God. -- "That is why Mark, Matthew, and Luke revisited the Scriptures to search for and find in them figures of divine envoys who were persecuted and rejected and thus had to show that Jesus, because truly a prophet, had had a tragic fate similar to theirs."

Abstract

The medieval Latin poem Speculum Humanae Salvationis (known in English as The Mirror of Human Salvation ) was one of the most popular works of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries with preachers and laity alike. Utilizing a typological approach to interpretation, it combines Old Testament and New Testament events and figures to depict an integrated narrative of redemption. As such, the Speculum is not only an outstanding model of medieval biblical interpretation, but also a fascinating case study in allegorical reading habits and the interplay between text and image. This Scholars Initiative project comprises the first modern transcription and English translation of the full Latin Speculum, accompanied by annotations tracing the biblical references and detailed notes explaining the visual iconography.
