Bernardus Gelduinus (or
Bernard Gelduin)
• Christ in Majesty
• Christ, in a mandorla with
engraved patterns around its
circuit, raises his right hand in
blessing with his left hand on a
book inscribed with "Pax vobis"
(Peace be with you). He is seated
on a throne with an incised
pattern and on a pillow with
decorative braid.
Bernardus Gelduinus (or Bernard
Gelduin)
• The four Evangelists symbols at the corners The eagle (St. John) and man/angel (St.
Matthew) are located at the top left and
right while the ox (St. Luke) and lion (St.
Mark) are located at the bottom corners.
These symbols, too, have linear patterns in
their wings and bodies.
• Two angels holding scrolls
• Inscriptions on the architectural arches
identify these angels as seraphim
(center) and cherubim (left). Both hold
scrolls with the word "Sanctus"
repeated three times ("Holy, holy,
holy"). All of the angels are in profile,
which may have meant they were
designed to face toward a more
important figure. In the ambulatory,
these two are placed flanking Christ.

The "Mystic Mill," probably the highest quality and most interesting of the Romanesque capitals in
Vezelay Basilica, dating from c.1120-32. The highly symbolic scene shows Moses puring grain into a mill
(Christ), which produces flour that the Apostle Paul solemnly collects in a sack. Located in the south
aisle, it takes full advantage of the light streaming in the window: Moses is in the dark while Paul is in
the light, and the cross-shaped wheel of the mill is turned slightly to catch the ray of sun. This theme
was also depicted in a stained glass window at Saint-Denis under Abbot Suger.

as disciples, and three of them
were present at the
Transfiguration). The other eight
are seated below.
