FIRMAMENTUM MEUM DOMINUS, REFUGIUM MEUM ET LIBERATOR MEUS. Ps.17

Pss 17.3: Dominus firmamentum meum et refugium meum et liberator meus (17.3: The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, my deliverer).

Whereas the psalmist calls out to the heavenly Lord as his support and refuge, the illumination depicts the wealth and abundance resulting from the rule of God's earthly representative, thus referring to the alphabet's patron, Rudolf II. Rudolf here is considered as the originator of the contemporary golden age, not, however, in his capacity as Holy Roman Emperor but as the ruling archduke of the house of Austria. The lightning flashes representing his might and the abundant cornucopias are attached to the Austrian coat of arms in the middle of the page. Pouring from the cornucopias are ripe fruits of the orchards and fields such as melons, grapes, peaches, cherries, a pomegranate, squash, and ears of corn. This imagery expresses thanks to the emperor of the house of Austria for the overflowing abundance of the golden age newly dawned under his regime.

Fruit garlands and fruit-filled cornucopias - traditional elements of the repertoire of Netherlandish grotesque imagery -burst with life in Hoefhagels work. On folio 13 of the Vienna writing model book (inv. 975), Rudolf II is honored, this time as emperor, with similar bundles of fruit,27 while cornucopias on folio 60v of Hoefhagels Roman missal point to the realm of the heavenly ruler.28 The incense bowl in the middle of the top margin, which in the Vienna writing model book burns in God's honor (fol. 13), probably also burns here to honor the heavenly emperor. The two insects, whose comical forms fit so organically into the fantasy architecture of the grotesque ornament, are probably to be understood here in a general sense as beleaguering those who yearn for faith, peace, and abundance.
