Saint Matthew - Public domain dedication image

Français : C'est sans doute bien Matthieu représenté ici, au niveau de l'évangile du même nom. L'enlumineur auteur de la bordure a fait ici une erreur : il a représenté le symbole de saint Luc au-dessus de cet évangélisteEnglish: This evangelist is Matthew, in a miniature in the middle of the gospel according to Matthew, but one of the painter made a mistake : he represents the symbol of Luke, the winged ox, on the top of the miniature

In artistic depictions, St. Luke is often shown holding an ox or with an ox nearby, as a symbol of his association with the Gospel of Luke and his devotion to Jesus and the Holy Family. The image of St. Luke with an ox is a reminder of the importance of sacrifice, devotion, and compassion in the Christian life.
