Genesis 9. The original Latin margin incorrectly cites Chapter 19; the German text and context correctly identify this as Genesis Chapter 9.
A woodcut illustration depicting two men in 16th-century orientalist or biblical attire (turbans and long robes) standing in a landscape. The man on the right gestures with an open hand toward a valley containing various animals, including a camel, sheep, and cattle. In the background, small figures of people are visible near a body of water and distant hills.
The text refers to the "Noahic Covenant" where humanity is granted authority over the animal kingdom once more after the deluge.
