Sažetak
Although there is no direct revelation of God's Trinity in the Old Testament, Christians have read the Old Testament texts typologically and have recognized among them the prophetic impute to Jesus Christ and his revelation of God as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This kind of Christian interpretation is obviously marked also in handwritten illustrations that have followed the Old Testament texts throughout many centuries. This paper presents and investigates that type of illustrations. It concerns the so called »Trinity of the Psalm«, the illustration of the first line of Psalm 110 (109), which as an illustration of the Old Testament text actually reveals the Christian interpretation of that text, i.e. points to the Christological-Trinitarian content as the foundation of Christian faith (christologization of the Psalter). The paper examines the iconographic-theological development of the illustration from binary to triune, i.e. the development of the Triune God in the image of the heavenly glory from the illustration of the Psalter (that reaches its peak in the 13th century) to the dominant Trinitarian iconographic type of the Christian West, especially at the time of the Trident Council and Catholic restoration. The main part of the paper analyzes the quite complex iconographic-theological and foremost Christological and Trinitarian content of the »Trinity of the Psalm«, recognizing in that illustration the first complete description of the Christian image of God as Triune, i.e. the earliest direct anthropomorphic depiction of God the Father.
