Summary
Depicts Miguel de Molinos' abjuration, a public renunciation of heresy in the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva. Molinos kneels at the feet of the Commissioner of the Holy Office, before the altar of the church. They are two tiny figures in the center of a huge space packed with spectators, commoners standing shoulder to shoulder on the ground floor and prelates and noblemen filling wooden stands which were built for the occasion. Depictions of five scrolls with text are imposed on the image, two vertical on either side, one in the top center which holds the title, and two in the lower left and right corners. The scroll in the lower right bears a floorplan. The vertical scroll on the left contains a key identifying various important people and groups within the scene
