A Short History of the Middle Ages Fourth Edition

Plate 4.3: Christ Asleep, Hitda Gospels (c.1000–c.1020). The moral of the story (which is told in Matt.
8:23–26) is right in the picture: as the apostles look anxiously toward the mast to save them from the stormy
sea, one (in the exact center) turns to rouse the sleeping Christ, the real Savior.
