A coloured print with Christ as Man of Sorrows being adored by a Carthsian; pasted to a page painted in red covered with streaming blood. A Carthusian kneels before a bloody Christ; who stands beside his cross. They converse by means of scrolls with texts in Latin. The Carthusian petitions Christ: 鈥極 Lord I beseech; send me salvation' (Domine obsecro dirige ad me salutem). He replies: 鈥楽on; shun (temptation; understood); subdue (it); say nothing; keep quiet (Fili fuge; vince; tace; quiesce). The formulation is found in Abelard's Epistle VII on the foundation of a women's convent; and the context is how to avoid the temptation to sin. Below is a caption in English: 鈥楾he greatest comfort in al temptacyon Is the remembraunce of Crystes passyon'.England; c. 1480- c. 1490.From: Psalter and Rosary of the Virgin (from f. 27); in two versions; and other devotional texts; including a litany.Egerton 1821; f. 9v London; British Library.
