King Saul falls on his sword - Worms Bible (http://warfare2.netai.net/12/Worms_Bible-Saul.htm)
This is mentioned in Scenes and Characters of the Middle Ages, by Edward Lewes Cutts (http://warfare2.netai.net/6C-11C/Scenes_and_Characters_of_the_Middle_Ages-Saxon_Arms_and_Armour.htm) which is useful for finding interesting manuscript illustrations, if nothing else.

Maybe it's not literally a bible, maybe it's a cookbook for those on a Diet of Worms?  :P
