A." Mercury, in like manner, was the abode of Raphael, Venus of Anael, 

 Mars of Samael, Jupiter of Tadkiel, and Saturn of Cassiel. The illustra- 

 tion, p. 215, is taken from the ' Dialogus Creatuarum,' A.D. 1480." 

 F. E. Hulme's Symbolism in Christian Art, p. 214. 



B. Jupiter, in the middle, has a solar radiation in the eastern manner. 

 Minerva, on his right, bears helmet and spear. On the left Juno holds the 

 Cornu Copiae, and her a-reQavos, or diadem, resembles the lunar crescent. 

 As queen of heaven, she was the goddess of the moon. [Plut. Qutftif. 

 Rom. 74.] Pitture Antiche d'Ercolano, 1795, Vol. VIII., PI. 1. 



C. Here the Moon and the Sun represent Diana and Apollo. Ibid. 



D. Of this drawing the Editor says (p. 24) Noi crediamo, che possa in questo 

 busto assere rappresentato Giorc, a cui convengouo ambedue i simboli, da' 

 quali e accompaguata la figura, cioe 1' aquila uccello di Giove, e al 

 medesimo consecrate, e la luna cresceute simbolo dell' etemita. 



The latter seems an onerous assumption. If the solar bird stands for Jupiter, 

 then the bust in the crescent may fitly represent Juno, the goddess of the Moon.
