Summary

Description
English: The Annunciation to Joachim, in The Caligula Troper, British Library [1]

Cotton MS Caligula A XIV;

Per BL: "Below an Assumption trope, a picture of the Annunciation to Joachim precedes tropes for the Nativity of the Virgin. Extending into margins and text, the unframed, floating picture shows Joachim fasting in the desert because his childlessness had rendered his earlier sacrifice unworthy. An angel tells him that Anna, his wife, has conceived a daughter, whereupon he orders a massive sacrifice of lambs, calves, and goats, seen frolicking to the side. The blank scrolls were meant as 'balloons' for the dialogue. The story's ultimate sources are in Greek apocryphal texts."

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.
