The Woeful Eagle; Dyson Perrins Apocalypse, about 1255-1260. Additional Info:After the first four trumpets sound, Saint John sees an eagle flying through the heavens. The illuminator represented the eagle's words on a scroll clutched in its talons: Ve, ve, ve, habitantib[us] in terram (Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth). Each woe represents one of the three trumpets still to be sounded.
