There are numerous representations of the donor shown in relation to the Adoration of the Magi. Thus it is legitimate to interpret certain Medieval and Renaissance images in which the donor appears along with the Virgin and Child as renewed or new Epiphanies. This interpretation is supported by a notable group of medieval texts, which reveal the existence of similar or analogous contents among different types of scenes. This paper compiles and reviews in particular those works in which the kneeling or praying donor is placed next to the Three Kings, in order to demonstrate his conversion into an apprentice wizard king.
