AD: New Factions Rosters Discussion Thread

[vityazb]

I saw this talk and just want to add that I agree with Taneda Santôka. The historical realism is always better then romanticized overestimation.

P.S. Но с ними спорить бесполезно:-)

Anglo-Saxons in 'Abram Rescues Lot' in the Old English Hexateuch, 11th century
The Army of the Four Kings defeats the Army of the Five Kings
Abram Pursued the Four Kings All the Way to Dan
Abram Attacks the Four Kings by Night
Abram Routs & Pursues the Four Kings and Rescues Lot
Melchizedek Blesses Abram
Although Abraham pursues mounted, in this manuscript, the subsequent night attack and pursuit is shown on foot.


More 11th century illuminations from
Ælfric's Hexateuch An Old English translation of the first six books of the Old Testament. British Library, MS Cotton Claudius B IV

The earliest illuminations are coloured-line drawings with only some yellow coloured-in;
God's Covenant with Abram
but the artist tries something new with colouring-in with shadow and high-lights on the occassional figure;
Abraham and Abimelech
Ishmael became a skillful hunter
Abimelech & Phicol return to Philistia
Esau Sent Hunting
and then on all figures;
Joseph's Brothers Go to Egypt to Buy Grain
The Brothers Bow to Joseph / The Feast
Joseph's Brothers Return to Jacob
Joseph Presents Jacob to Pharaoh
then there are many that seem unfinished with colour blocked-in but no outlines and shadowing;
Pharaoh Decides to Pursue Israel
Pharaoh's Army Pursues the Israelites
Amalek Attacks Israel and Is Defeated
and many without faces including one example with the process partly done;
Marriage of Female Heirs
and a few at the end that are finished.
The Spies Escape from Jericho
