| One of 76 historiated initials illustrating a treatise on deadly sins with a collection of moral tales. The bearded and tonsured bust in a brown habit on the right faces on the left the bust of a woman (or man?) in pink with a black dragon with red fire emanating from its mouth coming out of the mouth of the person. Grey letter with gold background and pink and green foliage. Alongside the miniature in red letters: 'Miraculo sco bernar che misere sco bernardo do confessore'. The subject the artist has chosen is that of Bernard casting out a devil from a woman possessed taken from the 'Vita Prima', probably the one from Pavia.
