I'm wondering if I'm starting to recognize the style of some of the illustrators that did some of the pictures from 'ancient times' ?
Another good find D.

Poor old Lot really had a time of it, didn't he? Getting his wife turned to salt was one thing but then getting captured by the four kings was just bad luck!

Yes, The style in the early part of the Hexateuch is similar to the Cotton Cleopatra C VIII Prudentius Manuscript of c.1000AD (about 25 years earlier).
