From the Getty Museum record
This manuscript recounts in words and pictures the lives and miraculous after-lives of two aristocratic brothers, Aimo and Vermondo, who lived in Milan at the end of the 700s (the text is written in Latin, with the title *Legenda venerabilium virorum Aymonis et Vermondi).* It may have belonged to the church that they founded, where their tombs were located and which also owned another illustrated manuscript of their lives. The book would have served as a document confirming the miraculous power of the saintly brothers' mortal remains. It might otherwise have belonged to a devout follower of Aimo and Vermondo. Those who sought miraculous cures or made pilgrimages to a saint's shrine often owned copies of that saint's biography.
