| From a Flemish Book of Hours, Use of Rome, dated the third quarter of the fifteenth century and written in Latin and Flemish in Bruges for a member of the Dominican Order. Bernard, nimbed and in a white cowl, stands in a small building open on both sides to a landscape with trees in what looks like a square miniature which is in fact an initial I(llumina oculos meos) the opening of the Seven Verses introduced, also in Latin, in red letters above. He has a chained devil in his right hand which he crushes with his feet and the crozier in his left hand.
