• Miniature with allegories failed by Fortune, facing a decorated initial 'A'(lter), at the beginning of the second circle of Philippus Albericus's Tabula Cebetis. Those whom Fortune has enriched beforehand lead a congenial life. Vainglory, Gluttony, and Pleasure embrace them. But when Fortune's gifts fail them, these people are immediately driven away; in order to recover their previous way of life, some take to murder, others to theft, and many to swearing falsely by the gods, for little reward. But some are shut up in a dark building, and these Sorrow, Lament, and Punishment afflict with sufferings. Whence they are lead to a glittering hall; when they have been purged of their crimes there, they are able to return to a better life. Penance batters the door with her rod and continually excites their hearts to honest deeds (see Carlson 1993)., Tabula Cebetis, De mortis effectibus and other poems
