Example text
British Library MS Stowe 39, fol. 9r. 16 Besides The Abbey, the other main text in MS Stowe 39 is The Desert of Religion (fols 10v–31v), a long, fully illustrated allegorical poem developed around the motif of trees of virtues and vices. 17 As Peter Kidd has proven, The Desert originally appeared before The Abbey in the volume, after the frontispiece that is currently found on fol. 18 His codicological study demonstrates that The Abbey illustration was once the final item – a detail that in no way undermines its importance, as the ends of books often provided the occasion for recapitulative reading and meditation on the text.

The viewer, the pupil of the image (in the same way that the novice is Honesty’s pupil), may learn from these figures how she should conduct herself – namely, by guarding her senses from harmful intrusion. The middle frame on folio 9r thus represents yet another dynamic graphic representation of the text, and its function is evoked only through extended, embodied meditation performed by its medieval readers.
