Title:Hunterian Psalter
Notes:

This manuscript is held in the Library of the University of Glasgow, MS Hunter 22. 1. The illustration is based on the Matthew passage, but the connection to the Luke passage, associated with the Lectionary, is close enough as to be useful for comparison purposes.

"Christ: Temptation, 3rd -- Four nimbed angels, as busts, with draped hands descend above Christ, cross-nimbed, seated on mountain, with left hand holding open book or parchment inscribed UADE RETRO SATHANA based on Matthew 04:10 and with right forefinger raised toward winged horned devil with right hand holding scroll inscribed HEC OMNIA TIBI DABO SI CADENS ADORAVERIS from Matthew 04:09 and with left hand pointing down toward treasure of various kinds, including four covered vessels, three drinking horns, and gems." [from: Index of Christian Art Database, Princeton University. 2010.]
