| Description: |
Miniatures of the death of Codrus, king of Athens: disguised as a peasant, he seeks to be killed by enemy soldiers to save his city, because he had learned from the oracle that the side whose king fell would be victorious ; and on the right, Eleazar, brother of Judas Maccabeus, kills an elephant of war and is killed himself when the elephant falls on him. |
