Inscriptions
Inscription: Recto: lower right, black ink, ‘AvD’ in monogram, type 1: ·TvT· 18 AvD; lower margin, black ink: Apres un danger extréme Ulysse prend terre en la contrée des AEïens, où estoit la demeure / de Circé fille du Soleil; ce qui me semble estre une figure de la vie de l’homme, / Où comme en un confus Labyrinthe, au sortir d’un mal l’on entre dans l’autre, / et ce qu’on appelle douceur est bien souvent amertume. [this last line cropped off at an angle so that only some ascenders and the end of ‘tume’ are visible]. [After extreme danger Ulysses lands in the country of the Aeaeaians, where was the home of Circe the daughter of the Sun. That which seems to me a symbol of the life of man, where in a chaotic labyrinth one escapes one evil to enter another, and that which one calls sweetness is often bitterness.]
