f27v illustration detail
f27r Text: the mystic aspects of the dove. The silver coloured dove. Illustration: A dove in a roundel. This rather plain lifeless bird does not do justice to the luscious pictorial descriptions devoted to the dove ff26-30r. The dove's feet are described as red for its symbolic meaning on f28r but are shown as brown on f27v.The rubric is written up the side of the image.
