The Emblematic Hand of the Mysteries (in Antiquitas explanatione et schematibus illustrata)

Bernard de Montfaucon (January 13, 1655, Aube, France - December 21, 1741) was a French Benedictine monk and scholar.

He published L'antiquité expliquée et représentée en figures between 1719 and 1724. It contained copperplate folio engravings of classical antiquities. It included a depiction of the "Barberini Vase", more commonly known as the "Portland Vase". This book is published in English under the title Antiquities.

In a letter written by Josiah Wedgwood on June 24, 1786, he explains that he had seen Montfaucon's engravings of the Portland Vase.

Montfaucon was the original editor of the homilies Adversus Judaeos by saint John Chrysostom.
