content: Verso: Two scenes from the life of St. Giovanni Gualberto, separated by dividing lines that run vertically through the center of the page. Left: in the foreground men unload sacks and baskets from horses. In the background more men carry the goods up into the porticoed entrance of the monastery at Vallombrosa, where the monks receive the bounty—which miraculously arrives during a famine. Right: In the interior of a chapel, a sick woman named Adalassia lies on the floor before the tomb of St. Giovanni Gualberto. She will be miraculously healed of her illness.
