Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Ein gewappneter Ritter steht hinter den sieben Tugenden („Kardinalstugenden“ septem virtutes) die sieben vom heiligen Geist in Form von Tauben gesandten Geschenken (septem dona spritus sancti) zugeordnet werden.

Der Ritter und die sieben Tugenden stehen den sieben Hauptlastern (septem vitia capitalia: superbia "Hochmut", ira "Zorn", invidia "Neid", acedia "Faulheit", avaritia "Habgier", gula "Völlerei", luxuria "Wollust") entgegen, die hier als Teufel dargestellt sind, mit jeweils geringeren Unter-Lastern in Form von kleinen Dämonen in ihrem Gefolge.

Die Rüstung und das Pferd des Ritters werden dabei mit weiteren Tugenden versinnbildlicht. Dies sind:

  • Helm: spes futuri gaudii
  • Schild: fides (als Schildwappen die „heilige Dreiheit“/scutum sancte trinitatis)
  • Lanze: perseverantia
  • Zügel: discretio
  • Satteldecke: humilitas
  • Sporen: discipline
  • Hufeisen: delectatio, consensus, bonum opus, consuetudo
  • Kettenpanzer: caritas
  • Schwert: verbum Dei
  • Banner: regni celestis desiderium
  • Sattel: christiana religio
  • Pferd: bona voluntas
  • Steigbügel: propositum boni operis

Der Engel krönt den Ritter und hält das Spruchband non coronabuntur nisi qui legitime certaverint sowie sieben Bänder mit den sieben Seligpreisungen (ipsorum est regnum caelorum; ipsi possidebunt regnum; ipsi consolabuntur; ipsi saturabuntur; ipsi misericordiam consequentur; ipsi Deum videbunt; quoniam filii Dei vocabuntur)
