Augustine - Illumined Manuscript

Augustine for August. For some reason the makers of this Gospel of Luke decided Augustine would be a suitable image although he was a theologian not an Apostle.



It shows Agustine holding a codex not a scroll but he clearly has Roman costume and classical columns form the frame for the images of the Saint. 
Oddly Classical in its details despite being Post Classical.
