The Fall of Babylon; Dyson Perrins Apocalypse, about 1255-1260. Additional Info: Quote Text: After these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was enlightened with its glory. And it cried out in a strong voice, saying: "Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen and has become the habitation of demons, and the hold of every unclean spirit, and the hold of every unclean bird."(Apocalypse 18:1-2). The angel in the miniature points to the destroyed city of Babylon below. The unclean spirits, represented by malformed faces, peer out from under the rubble at the right, while the despised birds gather on the top of the debris.
