Not illustrated. 1886 Excerpt: ...church of St. Quentin, the Hell scenes must have been very striking. The choir of this church in the north of France, west of Caen, is the only original portion of the building which still remains; it dates from the year 1257. The play was enacted there about the year 1350. At the tidings of the birth of Christ, which reach the ear of the parents of St. Quentin at the moment of his birth, and at the time when Diocletian, sinking under the weight of authority, calls on Maximian to share his throne, the depths of Hell are roused; Lucifer, Satan, Ashtaroth, Leviathan, Beelzebub, Cerberus, and a jess familiar devil, Berith, meet in counsel. They determine to tempt Maximian, and whisper hatred of Christianity in his ear. (See " Annales Archeologiques," vol. xv. p. 29.) VI. THE TEMPTATION OF ST. PAPHNUTIUS, p. 129, vol. ii. This episode in the scenes of the Hermitage in the Thebaid has been illustrated by Lasinio, Pitture a Fresco del Campo Santo, plate c, and explained by Eosini in the text that accompanies the work. The painter, he tells us, would shew that the Tempter, whether disguised as learned professor, or in the form of a woman, may follow man even into the wilderness, and there, either through terrors or enticements, seek to divert the best from their sacred occupations. The figure kneeling to the right, and thrusting his hands into the flames, is shown to be the blessed Paphnutius, who adopts this expedient rather than yield to the attractions of the graceful woman who kneels behind. She, in the second scene, stricken by the judgment of heaven, falls senseless to the ground; but (in the third scene) revived through the prayers of the Saint, she renounces her evil life, and, kneeling, commends herself to God, that He may pardon her sin and rec...
