Description
English: A woodcut of a family gathering for a meal, ostensibly related to the story about the spendthrift saved from his deal with the devil by Roger Bacon... who, however, had no family.

"The gentleman upon this, living a temperate frugal life, grew very rich, and leaving no issue behind him, bequeathed his estate to Brazen-Nose College, because Friar Bacon, a member of it, had delivered him from so great and imminent danger" (p. 16).
