Summary

Description
Deutsch: Gegenüberstellung der sieben Laster („Todsünden“, links) und der sieben Tugenden („Kardinalstugenden“, rechts), die als Geschenk des heiligen Geistes in Form von Tauben vom Himmel herab gesandt werden. Hinter den Tugenden ein gewappneter Ritter zu Pferd, dessen Rüstungsteile mit weiteren Tugenden versinnbildlicht werden. Dazu trägt er den „Schild der heiligen Dreiheit“ (scutum sancte trinitatis), der auch „Schild des Glaubens“ (scutum fidei) genannt wird. Aus der Summa de virtutibus et vitiis des Peraldus. British Library, Harleian MS 3244 ff. 27v-28
English: Harleian ms. 3244, folios 27-28, showing an allegorical knight preparing to battle the seven deadly sins with the "Scutum Fidei" diagram of the Trinity as his shield.

This is part of a ca. 1255-1265 illustration to the Summa Vitiorum or "Treatise on the Vices" by William Peraldus. For detailed discussion of the manuscript, see the article "An Illustrated Fragment of Peraldus's Summa of Vice: Harleian MS 3244" by Michael Evans in Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes, vol. 45 (1982), pp. 14-68.

"The picture is exceptional for several reasons: there is no comparable representation of the vices; depictions of the miles christianus in emblematic armour are extremely rare before the Reformation; the juxtaposition of the various elements is unprecedented in medieval figurative art; and no other illustrated MS of Peraldus is recorded." (Evans p. 14)
For the device on the knight's shield, see image description page File:Trinity knight shield.jpg.
