The subjects of this
series of Vatican City stamps are drawn from a codex (1122, f. 171r -
Sec. XIV) preserved in the Apostolic Library in the Vatican. The
stamps were issued in 1995 as a part of a "philatelic plan" to issue
four stamps each year until the Jubilee of 2000 with subjects from
various illuminated manuscripts in the Vatican Library.
