medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Of course there is the image of Superbia in the Hortus Deliciarum (ca 1190) of Herrad von Landsberg. She is sitting side saddle on a lion skin, not holding any reins but brandishing a swinespear or winged lance. See the picture. Henk > There is an illumination of a mounted female personification in a manuscript of Ulrich of Lilienfeld's Concordantia caritatis, dated between 1351and 1358, which Michael Evans claims shows her riding side-saddle; see his "An Illustrated Fragment of Peraldus's Summa of Vice: Harleian MS 3244," Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes, 45 (1982), 14- 68, at pl. 7c. That puts it in the same period as the Lorenzetti paintings, and in a somewhat comparable context. And somewhat before Catherine de Medici.
