Français : Ésaïe ou Isaïe
English: Manuscript illumination from a Greek manuscript psalter dated c. 940–960 AD, now in the National Library of France: the Paris Psalter (Parisianus graecus 139, folio 435 verso). The prophet Isiah (labelled: ΗϹΑΙΑϹ) flanked by Nyx ("Night"; Greek: Νύξ, Núx; Latin: Nox) and the Dawn (labelled "Όρθρος", "Orthros", "daybreak"). Daybreak is labelled and depicted as a boy carrying a flaming torch; Nyx is labelled and shown nimbate with a dark complexion, with dark clothes and a starry mantle, and holding an inverted flaming torch. The manus Dei appears to the top. The scene illustrates the Book of Isaiah 26:9:
"ἐκ νυκτὸς ὀρθρίζει τὸ πνεῦμά μου πρὸς σέ, ὁ θεός, διότι φῶς τὰ προστάγματά σου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς." "In the night my spirit rises early toward you (possibly eagerly seeks you), O God, because your ordinances are a light upon the earth" (NETS) NB: modern English translations do not use word the φῶς, "light", which is not in the Hebrew text. e.g.:

Licensing
 | This file might NOT be in the public domain. It was previously considered to be in the public domain because it is a scan (or similar) by the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, but not everything scanned by the BNF is automatically in the public domain. It is possible that this file is in the public domain for other reasons, for example because it was published a long time ago (anything before ca. 1900 is most likely ok) or because its author / artist / photographer died over 70 years ago and it was published over 95 years ago. In such cases, a new rationale should be applied, and a different license tag (see Commons:Licensing and valid license tags at Commons:Copyright tags) should be used. If the file is not found to be in the public domain, it might be nominated for deletion (NOT by any automatic process, but manually). |
