David and Jonathan
This image is a leaf from La Somme le roi, a moral treatise written by Dominican Friar Laurent d'Orléans, and illustrated by many several secular illuminators. On the left: A crowned female figure stands on a dragon and holds a medallion as a dove. The inscription above, "Amistie," her labels her as "friendship." Beneath Friendship, David and Jonathan embrace over an inscription "David et Jonathas." On the right: Elias cringes away from a lamp below below an inscription "hely" (hatred). Below this, Saul is threatening to kill David, above an inscription "saul et david."
