Description
-
Nicaula was a woman born from barbarousness, but grew to be extremely respectable. She was known for her especially good conduct. When Nicaula heard of the wisdom of Solomon, she decided to cross the known world to meet him. The image depicts Nicaula meeting Solomon, before asking him many difficult questions and offering him splended gifts. Books burn in the background as Nicaula said that Solomons vast knowledge was a gift from God rather than something gained from study.
