Scholarly Significance
Page 158 — deep in the triumphal procession. The 'Saturni' annotation is notable: Saturn is the planet of lead, melancholy, and time in both astrological and alchemical tradition. Finding a Saturn reference in the procession annotations connects the triumphal imagery to the same planetary/alchemical framework seen on p.88 (planetary palace) and p.17 ('planete'). The word 'mortuorum' (of the dead) reinforces the funerary dimension of triumph.
Cross-references: Photo 101 (p.88, planetary palace), Photo 30 (p.17, 'planete')
