Abstract
Among the little-known commentary illustrations in the Gulbenkian Apocalypse are a number of images expressing a radical anti-Jewish ideology. This forms an important focus for the whole manuscript. Dating from the 1260's, the illuminations expand upon the accompanying Berengaudus glosses on Revelation to address perceived threats posed by the presence of unconverted Jews within contemporary English society. Most probably made for an influential reformist cleric, the Gulbenkian Apocalypse not only served as a forceful ideological statement but also provided stimulus and justification for action in the decades preceding the expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290.
