Description
Français : Page du manuscrit enluminé des Grandes Heures d'Anne de Bretagne Reine de France (1477-1514). Le folio présenté donne le prologue de l'Evangile selon Saint-Jean : "In principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum. Hoc erat in principio apud Deum. Omnia per ipsum facta sunt, et sine ipso factum est nihil quod factum est. In ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hominum: et lux in tenebris lucet, et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt. Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Joannes. Hic venit in testimonium, ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine, ut omnes crederent per illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine. Erat lux vera quae illuminat om(nem hominem etc...)". Soit : Au commencement était le Verbe, et le Verbe était en Dieu, et le Verbe était Dieu. Il était en Dieu au commencement. Il a tout fait et rien de ce qui s'est fait ne s'est fait sans Lui. En Lui était la vie et la vie était la Lumière des hommes et la Lumière luit dans les ténèbres et les ténèbres ne l'ont pas comprise. Il y eut un homme envoyé par Dieu, du nom de Jean. Il vint en témoin pour rendre témoignage à la Lumière afin que tous croient par lui. Il n'était pas la Lumière mais il vint rendre témoignage à la Lumière. Le Verbe était la vraie Lumière Qui éclaire (etc...).

English: Illuminated manuscript of the Grandes Heures of Anne of Brittany Queen of France (1477-1514).

The text is the Last Gospel in latin, by John the Evangelist: "In principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum. Hoc erat in principio apud Deum. Omnia per ipsum facta sunt, et sine ipso factum est nihil quod factum est. In ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hominum: et lux in tenebris lucet, et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt. Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Joannes. Hic venit in testimonium, ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine, ut omnes crederent per illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine. Erat lux vera quae illuminat om(nem hominem etc...)".

Bible (King James) translation: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light (etc...).
