On Daniel's Seventh Vision: Text and Manuscripts

Go to the Prophets of Babylon and Persia group, the Visual edition.

Septimam uidit sub dario de angelo qui eum de lacu leonum liberauit, ubi preter uolunatem regis positus fuerat, quia, decreto principum inuidia dato de petitionibus non faciendis nisi a rege , ter orando in die contradixerat .

Under Darius, Daniel saw the seventh vision of an angel who freed him from the lions' den, where the king had put him against his will, because Daniel had contradicted the decree given by the commanders out of envy (that no prayers should be made to anyone other than the king) by praying three times a day.
