Description of MS M.894 fol. 39r

Christ: teaching -- Christ, nimbed, gesturing, stands flanked by kneeling apostles, nimbed, and other men. To right, among nude Damned between rock, are two women, one with arms tethered together above her head to rock, and the other, reclining on ground. Flames erupt from rocks behind them (hell).
Above in clouds of heaven, God, nimbed, wearing tiara, seated on throne, holds globe in right hand and raises right hand in blessing the Elect, partly draped, kneeling with joined hands raised, all surrounding Him.
Illustration of Matthew 18:07-10
Scene in landscape including rocks and trees.
