This illustration shows St. Catherine's Monastery on a brown hillside
representing Mount Sinai, where Moses is said to have received the Ten
Commandments. At left, an elderly monk holds an open book, probably
Scripture or a prayer book. Behind the monastery is the Burning Bush. The
illustration is reproduced from an 11th-century miniature in a manuscript
that is part of the Princeton University Library's Robert Garrett
Collection.
