"MD" (see "Soldiers drag two Christians by ropes" in this collection).
Two men wielding daggers assault a woman, who falls to her death onto a heap of men and women who have also been assaulted. The woman stretches her hands outward in helplessness, and her clothes are torn. Two of those already dead appear dressed in loincloth, and the third is clothed. (Cartouche: "TheChristians stabbed in with forkes.34.92." ["The Christians stabbed in with forks. 34. 92."]). This woodcut appears on the "Table of the Ten First Persecutions of the Primitive Church" foldout illustration in the second (1570) and fourth (1583) editions. Luborsky and Ingram 11223/1A (detail).
