The "seven virtues" are actually the eight "beatitudes",[1]

paupertas spiritus, mititas, mansuetudo, luctus, esuries iustitiae, misericordia, munditia cordis, pax

apparently the alignment of the eight beatitudes with the four cardinal virtues goes back to Ambrose of Milan (4th century)[2] but here the alignment is with the seven vices, and it seems the ms. just drups mititas (as equivalent to mansuetudo).

paupertas , mansuetudo, [...?], esuries iustitiae, misericordia, munditia cordis, pax

but the fourth does not read luctus; the first word may or may not be luctus but there is another word I cannot read. --Dbachmann (talk) 07:56, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
