Gerlach 1979a
“Jeroen Bosch – Gula; Tafelblad (5) – hier es gulsicheit” (P. Gerlach O.F.M. Cap.) 1979

Gerlach focuses on the Gula segment of the Prado Tabletop. Bosch was probably inspired by a scene from a rhetoricians’ play (rederijkersspel). Gerlach compares the segment to the Gula scenes in a Seven Deadly Sins panel (Geneva) by a Bosch follower, in an Antwerp panel (Antwerp, Royal Museum of Fine Arts) from 1490-1500 and in the New Haven Gula fragment attributed to Bosch. Gerlach believes (and rightly so as we now know) that this latter panel once made up a unit with the Louvre Ship of Fools panel.
