Laura Gilbert discovers one of the Metropolitan Museum's newest acquisitions "six illustrated manuscript leaves… [from] Nicholas of Lyra's 'Postilla Litteralis.' She comments: "Unannounced, the Met has put two of them on display: the elevation and the curtains of the Tabernacle … They're big — 16.5 x 9.75 inches — and so beautiful in their simplicity that it's a shame the Met isn't exhibiting the other leaves as well."
