Abstract:
The article is concerned with the iconography of Job being threatened by the Adversary (διάβολος). Two good examples of this rare subject may be found in Vatican gr. 749 f. 25 and Patmos cod. 171, f. 51. The Adversary is portrayed as a monster combining the features of a serpent and a lion. The closest analogy known to the author is in the Monastery of the Archangel, Cappadocia, where Christ himself tramples a serpent and a lion.
