The most splendid manuscript of the Revelation to John that Gothic art brought forth has been preserved for centuries in the library of Trinity College, Cambridge. Since 1660 the Trinity Apocalypse, which originated in the mid-thirteenth century, has belonged to this valuable collection.
Its richly coloured miniatures embellished with finely tooled gold are unparalleled among English apocalypses. But not only the rich decoration is exceptional: the French version of the Revelation with an exegesis of John's visions adapted especially to this manuscript is one of a kind.

Apocalypses are prophecies about the end of time and the Last Judgement made known in wondrous ways. Divinations of this kind occurred again and again, but the Revelation to John is the only one included in the New Testament. Using mysterious images and striking language, John describes the end of the world and the Last Judgement. Yet terror is not the focus of this vision: the Revelation to John is a book of consolation and inspiration.
