From the Getty Museum record
>And another angel followed, saying: That great Babylon is fallen, is fallen who made all peoples drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. >Quote text(Apocalypse 14:8) An angel shows the ruins of the great city of sin, Babylon, to the dismayed Saint John. To the right of the fallen buildings, a man drinks the "wine of wrath" from a chalice. Reinforcing the themes of the miniature, a man in the initial *E* below takes a hearty, healthy drink out of a gourd, while another sounds a horn from the towers of a thriving city.
