Thesaurus novi Testamenti elegantissimis iconibus expressus continens historias atque miracula doni nostri Iesu Christi

An angel with large, feathered wings stands over the bed of a sleeping king, gesturing toward him while he slumbers under a heavy decorative blanket. In the background, visible through arched openings, the other two Wise Men are also shown asleep in their own chambers, each being visited by a divine messenger. The setting is a grand palace interior featuring classical fluted columns, a geometric tiled floor, and a ceremonial scepter resting on a stool.

This scene depicts the moment where the 'natural' wisdom of the Magi—traditionally viewed in Western esotericism as the heirs of Persian astrology and ancient magic—is guided by direct divine revelation. The use of a dream as a medium for truth aligns with Neoplatonic theories of 'theurgy' and the soul's ability to receive celestial messages while the body is at rest.
