Thompson-Motive

D1610.21.1 is “Image of the Virgin Mary speaks”; the text explicitly reports that this Marian image once spoke with St Bernard and afterward was silent. D2158.1.3.2 describes fire turning aside and failing to catch holy garments, wooden altars and similar sacred things. The source calls the object a wonder-working Marian image and says that, in a legend, it would not burn. V126 (“Image of saint speaks”) is removed because the source identifies the image specifically as Mary; the catalogue provides the more exact Marian entry D1610.21.1, and the raw code’s saint identity is not stated here.

  D1610.21.1 is “Image of the Virgin Mary speaks.” The source expressly reports that the Marian image once spoke with St Bernard and afterward remained silent. It is a reported earlier episode, with the source attributing the claim to a legend context elsewhere in the paragraph.

  D2158.1.3.2 says fire turns aside and refuses to catch holy garments, wooden altars and similar sacred things, under “Fire obeys the saints.” The Marian image is expressly a sacred, wonder-working image, and the account says the fire could not burn it; this matches the entry’s “similar sacred things.” The neighboring 1.3.1 instead requires a saint personally or relics controlling a conflagration, which is not stated.
