Dvasinis skydas: Lietuvos kanclerio Alberto Goštauto maldynas iš Miuncheno
The international one-work exhibition "A Spiritual Shield. The Munich Prayer Book of the Chancellor of Lithuania Albertus Gastold" accompanying catalogue presents an altar commissioned by the eminent statesman of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, defender of the independence of the Lithuanian state, Grand Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Count Albert Goštautas, Grand Duke of Vilnius, and commissioned by the monk Stanislaus Samostšelnik of the Cistercian Abbey of Mogila (pol. Stanislaw Samostrzelnik, Lot. Stanislaus Claratumbensis, c. 1480-1541). It is a book with masterly miniatures and other elements, published in Cracow in 1528, and clearly stands out from the large collection of manuscripts from the Middle Ages and the early modern period.
The texts and descriptions of the exhibits are available in three languages - Lithuanian, English and German.
