The Martyrdom of Saint Thomas BecketCarrow Psalter, illuminated Manuscript, East Anglia, c. 1250
This manuscript was created for an Assyrian Christian of the 18th century, and is small enough to be carried by its owner at all times. It contains a collection of charms, or prayers for protection, to various saints. The illustration here depicts Mar Gewargis (St. George) and the dragon.
