Typology reads an Old Testament event as a type of a New Testament event, which is its antitype. Jonah in the fish prefigures the Resurrection. The illustrated books that codified these pairings include the Biblia pauperum.
The fourth blank names one of the practical design sources behind European church decoration. The Biblia pauperum pairs each New Testament scene with its types on the same page, which is why the same pairings recur so consistently in glass and fresco across the continent.
