Summary

Description
English: 15th century image of St. Benedict with the "en:Vade retro satana" phrase based on 1415 manuscript from Metten Abbey.
The text on the staff reads approximately "Crux sancta sit m̀[=mihi] lux ñ[=non] draco sit mihi dux" (Latin for "The Holy Cross is my light, the Snake is not my leader").
The text on the scoll is "vade retro sathana nũq̃'[=numquam] suade m̀[=mihi] vana / sunt mala quæ libas ipsa venena libas." ("Step back Satan, don't tempt me with vain things / what you offer me to drink are evils, drink the poison yourself.").
These verses have became a traditional Catholic formula to repel evil.
Français : Saint Benoit portant une croix et un rouleau manuscrit. Les premiers mots sur le rouleau sont « Vade retro satana ». Illustration extraite de la dernière page d'un ouvrage de 1415 découvert à l'abbaye de Metten en Bavière.
