| Psalm: |
13

| Iconography: |
Christ
raises a warning figure while the fool who said there is no God is
stripped of his robe by the psalmist. The fool has said in his
heart: there is no God. Denial of God was the most extreme form
of human pride and the Rule of St Benedict recommended corporal punishment
for the sin of pride (Rule, chapter xxviii). This figure is being
prepared for the lash.

Pp73-7491-92 form the outer bifolio of quire 6 and, as observed by

namely Scribe 6.
