Legend of St Margaret
1380-90 Illumination on parchment Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana, Florence According to the legend St Margaret was thrown into prison because she rejected Olybrius, the Roman governor. In the prison she was attacked by the Devil and, while at prayer, swallowed by a dragon. Since she was carrying a small crucifix she was able to cut a hole in the monsters belly and escaped. The miniature represents the scene when Prefect Olybrius leaves for hunting. Artist:MINIATURIST, Italian Title: Legend of St Margaret, 1351-1400, Italian , illumination , religious
