摘要
The miniatures "Nativity", "Crucifixion" and "Christ Enthroned" form a symbolic line regarding princess Gertruda's son, Yaropolk: birth - martyrdom - resurrection. The crown putting on Yaropolk's head by the Pantocrator looks like as the martyrs' crowns in the contemporary Christian art. The illumination representing Gertruda in prostration before St. Peter was depicted after Yaropolk's death. It results from the meaning of the red and white flowers (symbols of martyrs in the Garden of Eden) embracing the prince's figure in this miniature. The manuscript served to cherish Yaropolk's memory.
