IMAGE number
BL3313906
Image title
Angels conducting the spirits of benefactors to the Heavenly Jerusalem, the portal of which is opened by St Peter for their reception. Both this image and the previous extend across the two pages. Two saints looking on a contest between St Peter and Satan for a soul at the Last Judgment, the books being opened, and on the right an evil spirit leading away a man and woman. The Jaws of Hell, with Satan thrusting down the man and woman, while the gate is being locked by the Archangel Michael. To the left of the two saints is written 'Ælgarus', perhaps AElfgar or AEthelgar, Abbot of New Minster (965), and afterwards Bishop of Selsey (980) and Archbishop of Canterbury (988).
