Supplement to the Glossary of the Romance of the Rose

A [placed under Lorris] original: "gepl. onder Lorris." This likely refers to a library shelf-mark or a cataloging system, possibly associating the work with Guillaume de Lorris, the author of the Romance of the Rose, given the alchemical themes.

A square slip of paper is pasted onto the center of a blank page, containing a colored circular emblem. The emblem depicts a "pelican in her piety"—a white pelican pecking its breast to feed its young with its own blood. The bird sits on a nest atop a white square pedestal or shield which features a red rose superimposed on a golden cross (the Rosicrucian Rose Cross). Above the pelican, a golden sun radiates rays of light. The scene is set against a blue oval background and is encircled by a border containing the text "PHILOSOPHIA HERMETICA".

original Latin: "PHILOSOPHIA • HERMETICA"
