Summary[edit]

Description
English: "Tree of Vices" from Speculum Virginum, Walters Art Museum Ms. W.72, fol. 25v

Early 13th century manuscript from the Cistercian abbey of Himmerode, Germany.

Tree of the cardinal vices each with their sub-vices; see also File:Speculum3.jpg, Speculum humanae salvationis, ca. 1330.

The cardinal vices are: luxuria, ventris ingluvies, avaritia, tristicia, invidia, ira, vana gloria; "lust", "gluttony" (gula as sub-vice), "avarice", "dejection" (acedia as sub-vice), "envy", "wrath", "vanity". luxuria gets twelve sub-vices, the other six get seven each.


the root of the tree is superbia, holding the aureus calix babilon.


The inscriptions ''fructus carnis : babilonia : sinistra : fructus iste descendit contrast with fructus spiritus : iherusalem : dextera : iste ascendit in the juxtaposed Tree of Virtues (f. 26r) The figure with crossed arms is labelled vetus adam, contrasting with novus adam.
