Jane Rosenthal
Three full-page drawings of the deity in English tenth-century pontifical from Sherborne (Paris, Bibl. Nat. lat. 943, fols. 5v–6v) have hitherto been identified as one earliest representations Trinity anthropomorphic form. Detailed examination pictorial evidence and textual context works suggests, however, that actually portray an even more unusual subject, apparently without precedent earlier Western art, to wit, Christ appearing his threefold character king, god, man.
