296. MS M.917/945, pp. 206–207

In this miniature, which illustrates a prayer to a guardian angel, that angel is shown in combat with a demon for the fate of the corpse's soul. They fight over the contents of the Book of Life, in which the dead man's good—and bad—deeds are recorded. The image (unlike that in the Monday Hours of the Dead) depicts burial according to common practice—with a shroud instead of a coffin.
