This small miniature for the Mass of All Saints includes three popular saints, each identifiable by his attributes. Peter, wearing a papal tiara, holds the keys to heaven. Beneath his cloak, John the Baptist wears a camel skin and holds the Lamb of God on his book. Martin, dressed as a bishop, shares his cloak with a beggar. This small image was originally juxtaposed with a full-page miniature that is lost. Its disappearance makes any attempt to reconstruct the original context of the remaining depiction challenging.
