We are inspired by an exhibition titled “Tiny Treasures: The Magic of Miniatures” at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. So, we’re posting one of the tiny books in our collections!

"Hymno a La Trinidad" is one of the smallest treasures preserved in the Biblioteca Nacional de Espana. It is a miniature codex of 52 pages folded in the form of an accordion. It is protected by a unique binding specially designed for this type of manuscript of Ethiopian origin, known as the sänsul.

The sänsul is one of the less common types of Ethiopian books, in a context where codices of various sizes and "magic" scrolls are used as amulets. It was usually made with one or more folded parchment strips, with or without covers, bound together with ties.

This tiny manuscript measures 950 x 40 mm. The text is copied in the classical Ethiopic language Ge'ez with black ink and carmine. It describes and praises the virtues of the Trinity, the Savior, the Virgin Mary, the Archangels, and the most venerated saints of the Ethiopian Synakserium. The text of the sänsul is arranged on both sides. The recto comprises fifty-one columns of sixteen lines each. The verso is made up of forty columns of text that end before the figurative representation. (From Facsimile Finder)

This example in the Fine Arts Library’s collection is a facsimile edition. You are encouraged to touch this tiny manuscript and use your hands to open it as an accordion book or flip through each page to experience the mighty power of a small thing.  

Himno a la Trinidad [Madrid] : Orbis Mediaevalis, [2020] 1 sheet : color illustrations ; 10 x 175 cm, folded to 10 x 4 cm + 1 volume (78 pages : color illustrations ; 19 cm) + 1 sheet (19 x 15 cm) Facsimile of manuscript VITR/26/3 of the Biblioteca Nacional de España. Text of the manuscript in Ethiopic ; accompanying material in Spanish. HOLLIS number: 99155660106003941

📚 I’m writing a story that you can download and print and turn into a tiny book. It’ll be available in our ꪀꫀ᭙ Tales of Mosswood Forest blog. It begins… The Hedge Witch lived in a cottage overgrown with roses and moss. One morning, as she left to gather berries and Forest mushrooms, she heard a ruffling from outside. Now, who do you think it may be? 🪷✨🦔🍄🌱🌙📚 #hedgehog #hedgewitch #book #bookish #booklover #tinybook #tinybooks #tinybookoftinystories #tinythings #cuteanimals #witch #witchhat #storytime #storylover #storybook #witchy #hedgehogs #hedgehoglove #hedgehoglovers #fantasy #fantasybooks #fantasyart #fantasyforest #forest #forestlove (at St. Clair Shores, MI) https://www.instagram.com/p/Coxmn_-P1B1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How do you handle the little responsibilities?

What do you do with the small things?

How do you behave when nobody is watching and when issues don’t seem big?

The truth of the matter is, if you are faithful in small things, you will be faithful in the bigger things. #littlethingsthatmatter

God is determining whether you can be trusted with great things. #haveintegrity

God is watching you in the small things and judges you from those. #integrityiseverything

Your public blessing is determined by your private integrity. #livewithintegrity

When we are faithful with what has already been given to us, we are given more because we have shown we can be trusted with it. #thelittlethingsmatter

Faithfulness and integrity in little things, the performance of little duties and little deeds of kindness, will cheer and gladden the pathway of life. #integrity

Being faithful in the little things allows us to be entrusted with greater things, because we prove our humility, our willingness, and our consistency. #goodstewards

Being faithful in the smallest things is the way to gain, maintain, and demonstrate the strength needed to accomplish something great. #itsthelittlethings

Your desire to be faithful in what is much or big will be a fantasy unless you are first faithful or trusty in little things. #goodsteward

God treasures little acts of service as much if not more than the big acts of service. #thelittlethings

Your faithfulness when no one is watching prepares you to be faithful when the eyes of the world are on you. #littlethings
