Capital illustrates two of St. Benedict's miracles. In one a monk is possessed by a demon and Benedict chases the demon out of the monk by beating the monk with his staff. The second miracle is at Monte Cassino, where Benedict overturned an ancient temple to Apollo and dedicated a church to St. John the Baptist in its place [find the miracles in Gregory's Dialogues].
