Prudentius' Psychomachia, Cotton MS Titus D XVI, St Albans, England, 1120AD
including large images of:
Lot captured
Abram pursues the four kings
Abram returns victorious

Lust attacks Chastity with a Brand
Chastity Pierces Lust
The artist(s) hasn't worried about having the same costume throughout the scenes of Chastity's fight with Lust.
Among the deviations from the poem and captions are: the rock thrown should have knocked the brand from Lust's hand; Chastity should stab Lust with a sword (gladio) rather than a spear and; this sword should be washed in the Jordan.
