Reconstruction Summary

An allegorical table consisting of five concentric circles combining the seven principal sins and names of the petitions of the Lord's Prayer, gifts, virtues and beatitudes with a drawing of Christ at the center. There are drawings of the seven sins, with the figure of Superbia (pride) in chief. The Latin text derives from Hugh of St. Victor, De quinque septenis and Innocent III's De sacro altaris mysterio. Written probably in France in a minuscule hand. The drawings are lightly washed in brown, pink and green. Borders and spokes of the diagram are in the same colors.
