pictures which follow the Apocalypse have something of this character. Most of them tell
their own tale, but the allegorical one, f. 53, may be conveniently annotated.
Low down on L. is the principal figure, a lady seated in a rich chair: a dove is on the
back of it. She holds the shield of the Trinity, which is inscribed in French. The
inscriptions referring to this part of the picture are : Par la dame, est signifie repentant,

In C. is a tree: at top of it a cock ; at the root, at the lady’s foot, a viper: on R. a
man in a linen hood chopping at the tree with an axe. Above him a cock-footed devil
shooting an arrow to L. On L. of the tree trunk a cloud of flies. In the upper R. corner
an angel flying down with a leaf-shaped fly-flapper. In the upper L. corner an angel with
a sword. At the bottom of the picture, water.
