Description:
A nimbed Bernard kneels in a room on a tiled floor with his crozier on the floor. Through a window (or is it a picture on the wall?) he has a vision of the Virgin and Child, the Virgin baring her left breast which she squeezes and a jet of milk flows in the direction of Bernard. Through the window on the right is a church. Found loose in 'Horae ad usum Sarum' printed in Westminster 1494 by Wynkyn de Worde. It is almost identical to EN06, but in reverse.
