(Image credit: The British Library/Royal 10 E. This page shows an illustration of the devil with talons, wings and a tail, being cast out by angels. This illustrated manuscript, created in the first half of the 14th century, is known as "The Smithfield Decretals" or The Decretals of Gregory IX. The image "shows the devil as an ethereal blue angel, ultimately shed in favor of a more demonic appearance with animalistic traits," Montesano said. The earliest known suggested depiction of Satan is in a 6th-century mosaic, in the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, Ravenna, Italy. "The fathers of the early medieval church, however, elaborated the figure of Lucifer far beyond the biblical text, making him the rebel angel and transforming him into the paradigm of pride as the capital sin." "Lucifer, the 'morning star' is the expression with which Isaiah defines a future king of Babylon," Montesano said. In the Bible, the Book of Isaiah 14:12 reads: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations." This is a direct reference to God casting out Satan from heaven. The mosaic can be found at the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna, Italy. When he wakes, he wakes with a mellifluous song-voice and a genius for composing music of praise and lament.This 5th-6th century mosaic depicts the parable of the Kingdom of God and the Last Judgement.The blue angel on the right is believed to be the earliest known depiction of Satan. He is visited by the Virgin Mary in a dream. In the legend of Saint Romanos the Melodious, we are told his voice is like hearing metal scraping upon metal. The scroll corresponds to the hermeneutical act of reading and writing. It contains a vertical nature (this is why we use the electronic verb to scroll, which is how you may be reading this). The scroll is a shape that keeps returning.
