    Lightbulb Illustrations from Prudentius' Psychomachia, England, 1120AD

    Prudentius' Psychomachia, Cotton MS Titus D XVI, St Albans, England, 1120AD
    including large images of:
    Lot captured
    Abram pursues the four kings
    Abram returns victorious

    Lust attacks Chastity with a Brand
    Chastity Pierces Lust
    The artist(s) hasn't worried about having the same costume throughout the scenes of Chastity's fight with Lust.
    Among the deviations from the poem and captions are: the rock thrown should have knocked the brand from Lust's hand; Chastity should stab Lust with a sword (gladio) rather than a spear and; this sword should be washed in the Jordan.
