Flying Devil

An expedition of a Byzantine, a Saracen and a Jew scholar finds something unexpected.
Text in Middle High German: A lot of knowledge promises the book of the mad Abdul Alhazred for the Greek, Saracen and Jew. Instead a lot of fear and fright comes for the three wise men from the flying devils.

The Jew is depicted in the usual medieval clothing, a yellow hat, which was mandatory in many countries for Jews. The Greek is a Byzantie scholar, although the Byzantines called themselves Romanoi, which means Romans.
