| The Prophet Ezechiel in the Valley of dry bones. |
"This miniature illumination is taken from a manuscript of the Sermons of Saint Gregory Nazianzen, which was written for the Byzantine Emperor Basil who reigned from 867 to 886. This figure chiefly illustrates the Byzantine, not the Classical element in the miniatures of this mixed style of art, though there is also a clear trace of Greco-Roman influence in the finely designed drapery of the Prophet."
