Christian allegorizations
Description
The text is a series of biblical quotations followed by an allegorical interpretation. These quotations are taken from Matthew (two), John (one), Luke (one) and the Proverbs (fifteen). These selections do not seem to be based on any principle. There is certainly nouniform theme that would connect them. The passages from the Proverbs come from the chapters X to XVIII, most of them from chapters XIV, XV, and XVI. The four groups are separated from each other by captions. In three instances these titles do not serve their purpose, because they are incorporated into the last line of the preceding group and thus not recognizable without difficulty.
