Description:
Although this scene is identified by Clement & Guitard as the more
commonly depicted episode of John raising the woman Drusiana, the erstwhile
corpse shown here very clearly has a beard (compare with the equivalent
window at Chartres,
which clearly is Drusiana). This suggests that it shows the later episode
recorded in the Golden Legend, where John revives a young man who had
been married a month earlier. Though this is a far less common scene,
it does form the postscript to John's discourse against riches following
the story shown in panels 13-14. John commands the revived man to tell
the two men from panels 13-14 what they would be surrendering in choosing
the riches of the world over the riches of heaven and they subsequently
repent their weakness.
