Bottom to top, left to right. Circles start at 6 o'clock, proceed left to right: • Panels 1,2,3: Cobblers, the donors of the window - • Quadrant 4: Jesus tells a parable. • Quadrant 5: Man leaves Jerusalem for Jericho • Center 6, quadrant 7: Thieves leap out to attack and rob him • Quadrant 8: Priest and levite pass by without helping. - • Panels 9,10,11: Samaritan binds his wounds, places the man on his donkey, and takes him to a waiting inn-keeper. - • Quadrant 12: Samaritan cares for wounded man at the inn. • Quadrant 13: God creates man, (breathing into Adam the breath of life?). • Center 14: Adam in paradise. • Quadrant 15: God makes woman from rib ('tsela') as Adam sleeps. The appearance of the legs matching both Adam and Eve is a beautiful bit of work, rich with symbolism. • Quadrant 16: God forbids the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil. Note the red serpent already coiled about the trunk. - • Panel 17: They sit under the tree (a first step toward sin, perhaps?). • Panel 18: Satan tempts them and they eat. Note the dark, ominous red background which echoes the serpent from Quadrant 16, and contrasts with the refreshing blue of the previous. • Panel 19: God calls to them, but they hide and make fig-leaf aprons.
• Quadrant 20: Cherubim drives them from the garden and tree of life. • Quadrant 21: Adam digs while Eve spins with a distaff. • Center 22: God/Christ judges their sin but also promises redemption. {? makes covenant with them) • Quadrant 23: Cain takes an axe to Abel's head; the first murder. Abel's name can be made out in text below the panel. Like Abel--and the man in the parable--we have fallen victim to a fallen world, and lie wounded and bleeding. • Quadrant 24: Christ sits to redeem and judge, surrounded by angels. Reminds us that he is the ultimate figure to whom the parable of the Samaritan points.
• Lower rows: Donor (Louis de Bourbon, Count of Vendôme) and wife on far right. Other members of royal family. • Upper rows: Coronation of the Virgins, flanked by John the Baptist on the left, Saint John the Divine on the right. • Upper: Crucifixion and Last Judgment.
