Noah’s Wife is famous in medieval Christian lore for being so stubborn that she refuses to get in the Ark until she is physically forced to. If your husband suddenly told you one day that the entire world was going to be drowned by flood and all you had was his word to go on, would you be terribly eager to jump in a huge boat without asking questions? I know it would probably take me a while to get used to the idea. Anyway, here she is looking very unhappy on fol. 30v of Ms. Codex 236, while Noah receives a dove dive-bombing into his chest.Manuscript description and digital images can be found here at OPenn. -- source link
