Folios 113v-114r shows the south elevation of the nave in Old St. Peter's in Rome. A series of paintings on Old Testament scenes was juxtaposed with a cycle on the life of Christ, in which the Crucifixion stood out by its size. The former series was probably executed under Pope Leo the Great (440-461), while the latter was definitely not painted before the early Middle Ages, perhaps in the seventh century.
