Description
  • Text page with coloured drawings added in the 16th century. Top: bearded monk walking with staff and small cross, selling indulgences. Bottom: devils teach monks how to make gunpowder. Two horned demons and two chubby monks, one of them stirs a mixture in melting-pot (cauldron), the other one seems to be loading a wheeled cannon with powder. Other bagpipe-shaped demon in the foreground dips its beak into vessel. Inscriptions related to the drawings in Latin and English and, at the bottom of the page, note stating that gunpowder was first invented about 1378.
