Fol. 36v: Antonius Abbas is resting at the foot of a rock, inquisitive wild animals have gathered around him, and a pig – often depicted together with him – is looking up at him from the left foreground. The miniature above the saint’s suffragium is surrounded on all sides by a trompe-l’oeil border, which had not originally been present but was added later to accommodate changes in the sense of style. Blossoms and buds appear to be strewn on the golden backdrop, on which they also cast shadows.
