Protestant woodcut from Wittenberg, 1568
Similar to Moses, Martin Luther holds out the open Bible to Pope Leo X, whereupon the symbol of the Pope's power disintegrates and his throne slips, as the books upon which he stands disappear. Above, the Latin lettering Lutherus Triumphans'. On the right, the torches in the hands of the Dominicans indicate their role in the Inquisition, below, the Jesuits try to support the wavering papal throne. Copper engraving, illustration of a leaflet from 1568
