About this work

Die apokryphe Überlieferung (Didache, Thomasakten) von der Missionstätigkeit des Apostels in Indien hat Eingang in die Legenda Aurea gefunden, wo auch von Predigten die Rede ist. Die exotischen Kopfbedeckungen auf dem Wandbildfragment sollen wohl die Lokalisierung auf den Subkontinent andeuten.
