144,000 Evangelists are Sealed for Service and Protection

English: Walters Ms. W917 - Apocalypse with commentaries by Andrew of Caesarea This manuscript was made around 1800 by the Old Believers, a group of Russian Christians who dissented from the Russian Orthodox Church and were subsequently persecuted and excommunicated. Because their books were often confiscated and they were forbidden to use printing presses, they continued to write important works such as this one by hand. The manuscript contains the text of the New Testament book of Revelation along with a patristic commentary, which is accompanied by a series of seventy-one striking full-page miniatures.
