The Wednesday Hours of All Saints commences with this impressive miniature. An enthroned God floats above two groups of saints. On the left, they are headed by George, with a tiny dead dragon at his feet, and the apostle Thomas, holding a spear. On the right are Agnes, with a small lamb at her feet, and Jerome, dressed as a cardinal and with his attribute, a lion. The scene is framed by nine fiery angels. The scrolls speak of God's legacy to and support of his saints.
