XV/3 Ser Brunetto is here portrayed via one of the heads from the dramatis personae of Canto III/1 . Dante's text is present in my own handwriting (cf. note to VII/4). Of the two book-openings shown the lower one takes on the character of my own Tesoretto (A Humument) containing as it does a repeat of one of the original pages of that work (p. 191). The open book within the open book features the name of Brunetto's poem. Spelled out in this way it forms different words, notably sotto which hints at some Templar implications in the text (the Templars were branded as Sodomites by their persecutors). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
