Christ before the High Priest or Pilate, Syriac gospel miniature from Ms. Additional 7170, Zengid dynasty, Mosul, Iraq, c. 1216–1220. British Museum

British Library Add. 7170 is a rare, richly illustrated 13th-century Syriac Christian manuscript, produced around 1215–1220 CE, likely in the Jazira region near Mosul, possibly at the Deir Mar Mattai. Written in Syriac using Estrangela script, it is closely related to a similar manuscript in the Vatican Library. Its artistic style combines Byzantine art influences with features found in Islamic illustrated manuscripts, reflecting a shared visual culture in 12th- and 13th-century Syria and Iraq.
