Title
A devil in the mouth of Hell, in a 17th century Russian manuscript of St. John Chrysostom.
Description
Written on paper and bound in blind-stamped leather over wooden boards, with one of its metal clasps still attached, this manuscript has been very heavily read through the centuries. Its many illustrations picture various events in the life of Christ, the conflict between Christ and the Devil, and the fate of sinners in Hell.
Acquired from Bernard M. Rosenthal around 1960 at the instance of Oswald P. Backus, III, professor of History and Russian.
