Summary

Français : Le Seigneur, assis sur un trône, domine la scène. Il tient le globe de sa main gauche et, de sa main droite, indique le jugement de Lucifer. Les anges fidèles se tiennent à ses côtés, assis dans des stalles que les anges révoltés ont laissées vides. La milice de Dieu, bardée de casques et de cuirasses et armée d'épées, précipite les anges rebelles dans l'abîme. Lucifer est représenté tout en bas, entouré d'un halo formant comme une anti-auréole, mais toujours pourvu de ses attributs d'ange, la couronne et l'étole.English: This picture shows God sitting on his throne surrounded by Seraphs and all of the disrespectful Angels out of thier regular order of ranks out of Heaven and into the firery chaos of Hell. Michael and his angels (depicted as kinghts) fight off the fallen Angels. Satan is shown as the first to fall in.

A book of hours is a type of devotional text that was popular in the Middle Ages, particularly in the late medieval period. It is a type of prayer book that contains a collection of prayers and devotional texts that were meant to be read at specific times of the day, known as the "hours." These texts were usually written in Latin and were intended for personal use by laypeople, although some were also used by monks and other religious figures. The book of hours typically included a calendar of feast days, psalms, and other prayers, as well as illustrations and decorations.
