EXPLANATIONS

OF THE WHEEL.

In the first place is Sixtus IV, signified by three stars. As for the reason I should provide for this, in truth it seems very obscure to understand. And because I find that the learned are called "light" and "stars," I will say that Sixtus was indicated by these, since during the time he lived in a private condition, he was considered the greatest scholar to be found in Philosophy, Scholastic Theology, and Holy Scripture.

He was succeeded by Innocent VIII, who, in the arms of his Cibò a noble Genoese family house, has a checkered bar running across it, as indicated in this Wheel.

In the third place, Alexander VI is figured in the Bull, his heraldic animal; and in the letter R, which stated his name, which was Rodrigo.

Pius III, having been brought into the Piccolomini a prominent Sienese family family by his uncle Pius II on his mother's side, bore the arms of that lineage, which contains many moons, in one of which he is signified.

That trunk which is in the fourth square showed Giuliano, Cardinal della Rovere meaning "of the Oak" who became Pope Julius II.

It is common knowledge what the six balls are that are used by the Medici in Florence, of whom there were Leo X, Clement VII, and Pius IV; whose house came from Florence to Milan a long time ago, if the historians write the truth.

The Bull showed Adrian VI, both because it is an animal for the yoke and for

labor, and because his homeland is hinted at. Being born of poor parents, he earned through the labor of his studies and through service the favor of many, and especially of the Emperor Charles V, whose tutor he was, and because of this he became a Cardinal. His homeland is Traietto Utrecht, where he is shown at the beginning of the word original: "dittione" as if to say Trahere to pull or draw, which is the specific action and exercise of the Bull.

The Lilies are the arms of the Farnese family; from which anyone can understand the meaning of this prophecy and identify Paul III.

Julius III could not be better described, as he bore mountains in his homeland, in his surname, and in his coat of arms.

Marcellus II was called the Cardinal of the Holy Cross; therefore, we see the crosses placed for him in the square.

The shield of the Carafa a noble Neapolitan family is made almost like a inguisara a narrow-necked flask or vial, and inside, straight across and lengthwise, several bands are drawn. Although these appear somewhat slanted here, one should not wonder at it, because from this comes the obscurity of the figure.

The signs showing Pius V are manifest, and they fill his shield entirely crosswise in the red and yellow colors placed in its stripes or bars.

How that Tail can be significant of the Dragon, used as arms by Gregory XIII, is manifest to all, this part indicating that which is missing from the shield Gregory XIII's heraldry featured a "dimidiated" or halved dragon.

Sixtus V, among the Friars Minor, was called Felix Felice; and being from Montalto, this makes the figure known by saying "Felix of Montalto" Felice da Montalto.

That husk original: "Riccio" which we see in the present square can demonstrate the
