A new light on the renaissance displayed in contemporary emblems (1909)
Bayley, Harold · London, J.M. Dent · leaf 66
54 NEW LIGHT ON THE RENAISSANCE In Figs. 137 and 138 I think we have pictures of the Perfect Ones preaching. Observe over Fig. 137 the Tau sign of him who cries over the abominations of the city. Fig. 137. — 1570. Fig. 139. — 1419. Fig. 138. — 1436. … Fig. 141 is presumably the Angel of the Annunciation holding a lily. Fig. 139 is, I surmise, a defective attempt at the same subject ; if not, I should interpret it as a Perfect One preaching acutely with his right arm, while holding in his left hand the white flower of a blameless life.
