Bible moralisée

Japanese: ビーブル・モラリゼ(英語表記)Bible moralisée
Bible moralisée
An illustrated commentary of the Old and New Testaments compiled in France in the 13th century. It is made up of over 5,000 symbolic images. It displays a complex iconography not found in the stained glass or reliefs of medieval cathedrals, and every verse of the Old and New Testaments is interpreted allegorically. For example, in "Creation of the World," the figures of the earth-growing reptiles, birds waving in the sky, and large fish devouring small fish are paired with the figures of farmers plowing, clergy, and kings on thrones. At first glance, the two figures seem unrelated, but in fact they are interpreted in a correlation between the "actives," "contemplatives," and "earthly authorities" of the earth.

Japanese:
13世紀にフランスで編纂(へんさん)された図解注釈旧・新約聖書。5000枚以上にのぼる象徴的絵図だけで構成される。中世大聖堂のステンド・グラスや浮彫にはみられない精緻な図像大系を示し,旧・新約聖書の各節はすべて寓意的に解釈されている。たとえば〈天地創造〉では,神がつくり出した地をはう爬虫類,天をあおぐ鳥,小魚をくらう大魚,の図柄の対として,耕作する農夫,聖職者,玉座の王が描かれている。両図は一見無縁に見えるが,実はおのおの,大地の〈活動者〉〈瞑想者〉〈現世の権力者〉という相関関係において解釈図示されている。
