The text, transcribed and translated reveals the vocabulary of the body and the disease of Job, supported by the comments of the Greek Fathers that surround it. Compared with the description of some images issued from the iconographical cycles created especially for the Byzantine Books of Job, the text appears clear and concise. Thus, the text offered large scope for interpretation to the manuscript's painters: the numerous variants of the scene where Job falls ill indicate this. |
