Summary edit

Description
English: Biblical scene from the Zwiefalten Passionale. Historian Kathleen Schlesinger identified the woman on the donkey as St Pelagia.[1] She is holding a crwth-like instrument, or a cythara transitioning into a necked instrument[1]. The man leading the donkey has a guitar shaped instrument.[1] This latter instrument is interesting, because the modern guitar in that shape was developed centuries later. Schlesinger called this image "One of the earliest representations of a guitar in Western Europe."[1] Three possible dates given by holding library: c. 1120-1125, c. 1130-1140, and the 3rd quarter of the 12th century. Passionale, pars hiemalis - Cod.bibl.fol.57 number 520-257v. This instrument could possibly be a plucked fiddle by the criteria Ephraim Segerman put down; plucked fiddles predate the citole as this does; they had rounded corners without wings, as this instrument does.[2]
Date 1125-1150"
