A small white rectangular sticker or bookplate is affixed to the center of the page. It features a circular emblem with the inscription "Hermetic Philosophy" original: "PHILOSOPHIA HERMETICA". Inside the circle is a blue oval depicting a pelican in its piety—a white bird wounding its own breast to feed its young with its blood, a traditional symbol of sacrifice. Beneath the nest is a heraldic shield divided into four quarters, each containing a stylized rosette. At the top of the oval, golden rays descend from a sun-like arc.
