a loaf of bread, a knife and a bowl with fish inside have similar counterparts to the ones in the Cycle of the Life and Passion of Christ in the Bible ofAvila. Stylistically, the inverted perspective of the table in the ivory plaque of the reliquary of San Felices is similar to the one in the Bible ofAvila. The Virgin Mary in both examples presents one hand towards the viewer that is larger than the other hand. The drapery in both examples is marked with double incised lines in the ivory plaque, or double delineated lines in the case of the illumination. From this analysis, it is possible to conclude that even if the iconography of both examples is not exact, in terms of style the ivory plaque and the illumination are slightly similar. The next scene in folio CCCXXIII r is the Presentation of Christ at the Temple (Fig. 21). There is one instance in manuscript illumination, besides in the Bible ofAvila, where there is a representation of the Presentation of Christ at the Temple: the Antiphonal of Leon, fol. 79 (Fig. 22).129 The example in the Antiphonal depicts the priest Simeon and the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus in her arms, but that is where the similarities end. The three figures have halos, and there is no pictogram of the temple anywhere--in the Bible ofAvila the altar is present. Both examples depart drastically when we consider the stylistic characteristics. The Antiphonal of Leon has an abstract quality and simplicity that is far from the more realistic quality and complexity of the Presentation of Christ at 129 JOaquin Yarza Luaces, "Las Miniaturas del Antifonario de Leon," Boletin del Seminario de Estudios de Arte y Arqueologia, Vol. 42, Valladolid: Universidad de Valladolid, 1976, p. 190.
