text: Great - I've searched through Commons :Category:Illuminated manuscripts by century up to the 12th, and through all (I think) the icon cats - slim pickings; we just don't seem to have a painted Byzantine Nativity at all.  I don't think there are any Celtic or Insular depictions at all (they just don't exist I mean), but there are German ones from Carolingian on - though the pics up now may be the earliest we have.  I haven't looked at reliefs.  Johnbod (talk) 22:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I think that page from the Book of Kells ought to go in, with the explanation that was at the other page that it celebrates the Nativity of Christ in a symbolic rather than pictorial way. Amandajm I'm going to dump this talk on the pages talk page and continue there, OK! (talk) 22:36, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

text: I dunno - it comes next to the nativity in the text, but is a madonna & child. Well, add it & let's see. It is the earliest western M&C Johnbod (talk) 22:41, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Nativity

message: Amanda, I'm afraid in your absence I've crashed on in my usual way; hope it's ok (more or less).  Joint nom for DYK done. God, I'm fed up with washed out commons images, and insane commons category tangles! Also it really brings home how few straight nativities there are after 1500. But I was delighted to find the 2 sarcophagi with nice sharp pics. You'll see i've mixed the galleries into the text as far as possible, whilst mostly keeping the chronological sequence.  I'm not sure about the High Renaissance gallery - is the Doni Tondo really a rest on the flight? And the Leonardo is a bit of a one for conossewers like wot you, I & pi co are, don't you think?

thread_title:  more examples 

message: The section headed "Early Christianity" begins "The earliest pictorial representations of Jesus' Nativity come from sarcophagi in Rome and Southern Gaul of around this date." It's the first sentence of the section, and the last sentence of the previous section is about the Renaissance. So what date is "this date"? --Andreas Philopater (talk) 18:22, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

I added 2 of the most famous Bible illustrations depicting the Nativity. One is from Gustave Dore, the other is from Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld. Both Bible editions have been some of the most important published and are reproduced countless times. --GoogleMeNowPlease (talk) 04:59, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
