And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

“A leaf from a large Antiphonal illuminated in the Tyrol in the middle of the fifteenth century. At the IntroitGaudeamus omnes for the mass of the Assumption, with a large historiated initial depicting the death of the Virgin. The floral border decoration of leafy vine stem with bursting pods in green, pink, blue, and yellow is reminiscent of painting in copies of the Gutenberg Bible and other early printed books. This reminds one again that the printed book was formed in the context of the manuscript book, and that what print could not do at the beginning was beautifully supplied by hand. Another leaf from this Antiphonal was sold by Maggs, Catalogue 14 (1988) no. 14.
