Doesn’t this depict Judith?
Yeah, it’s an illustration from a late 13th Century copy of Speculum Humanae Salvationis held in the Marseille library, and shows Judith beheading Holoferne.
Source is a couple of different Meta social pages, which I’d rather not link.
Oops, can’t edit, but C15, not C13.
Thanks! Also great wiki link!
Ithn’t that the apothtle that betrayed Jethuth?
Seems like apocryphal Judith tales place her in either 2nd or 6th BC based on Holofernes, or even older based on other sources. Seems very unclear. Not exactly Medieval. Though I still find the meme funny.
For those curious as I was, this is one of those religious texts that was in some bibles and not others. Very interesting.
The Medieval part here was apparently a lot of depictions that occurred during those times.
