Abstract
A new interpretation of several late medieval biblical murals in churches in Lipnice and its vicinity (Dolní Město, Řečice and Loukov) from the 14 th century. Emphasis is placed on the interaction between the wall-paintings in the individual units, which reflect the ways in which the Bible was presented to local parishioners.
The murals feature surprisingly complex typological links between the Old and the New Testament, thus reflecting one of the primary approaches of medieval exegesis. The precious corpus of wall-paintings from this area thus offers evidence that complex presentation of the biblical narrative was not only practiced in the cities but also in rural areas.
