Folio 32r - the turtle dove, continued.
COMMENTARY
Text
Domestic and wild hawks; how the hawk moults; why the hawk is carried on the left hand; the end of the dove and hawk; the beginning of the dove and sparrow.
Illustration
A pair of turtle doves on top of a symmetrical tree is placed beside the heading of dove and sparrow.
Comment
The text on f.32r refers to the female turtle dove's chaste devotion to her mate, even when widowed. So, the illustration refers to the birds' faithful marriage. Initials type 2, colour indicator (V) for the vermilion initials 'A' and 'T'. The spacious initial 'P' is squeezed around the text and overlaps the frame of the illustration.
COMMENTARY
Text

Comment
In the margin there is a faint sketch of a circle with a bird's tail in it, a similar composition to the adjacent illumination.
