This page features a very faint diagram of several concentric circles. In the early modern era, this was a standard way to visualize cosmology—the study of the universe's structure—showing the earth at the center surrounded by nested celestial spheres or the four elements.

Because of severe fading and damage to the manuscript, the specific labels that once identified the various circles in this diagram can no longer be read.
