Summary, in English

Late medieval wall-paintings are part of sacred rhetoric, intended to convey the moral sense of Christian salvation history to churchgoers. The paintings of Albertus Pictor are studied according to the rhetorical principles set down in Augustine's De doctrina christiana and medieval scriptural interpretation.
