Text Appearing Before Image:

e uponthe sun. The head thereof was girt with a golden circlet throughwhich appeared another face as of an aged man. From the neckof the figure on either side sprang a pinion which swept upwardabove the circlet and joined its fellow on high. And where onthe right the wing turned upward, was portrayed an eagles headwith eyes of flame, wherein appeared as in a mirror the lightningof the angels, while from a mans head in the other wing thelightning of the stars did radiate. From either shoulder anotherwing reached to the knees. The figure was robed in brightnessas of the sun, while the hands held a lamb shining with light.Beneath, the feet trampled a horrible black monster of revoltingshape, upon the right ear of which a writhing serpent fixed itself. ^ The image declares its identity in words reminiscent of theWisdom literature or of passages in the hermetic writings, butwhich seem in fact to be partly borrowed from Bernard Sylvestris. 1 Migne, col. 741. From the LUCCA MS. fo. 86v PI -^
