Jesus Among the Doctors; Prayer Book of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, about 1525-1530. Additional Info: The twelve-year-old Jesus sits on a chair in the center of an octagonal edifice set inside the enormous Temple, visible through the arches. As a group of older men gathers around him listening intently, he holds up his hand with an authority beyond his years. The two full-length sculptures on either side of the central roundel above Jesus represent Moses and David, placing the young Jesus in the context of wise Old Testament leaders. This miniature depicts the story, recounted in the Gospel of Luke, of Jesus in the Temple.
