Dec 8 is Feast of the Conception. Arborvitae (thuja occidentalis) is apparently used to celebrate her. See Harold N. Moldenke, ‘Flowers of the Madonna’ at ewtn.com/catholicism/library/flowers-of-the-madonna-5669

This one appears to have a little leather pull-tab attached to the tail. Good for removing it from a pile. I have seen a pull-tab on a manuscript before but never on a so-called “unbound” one.

Book is written by a dignitary of Pavia. Am suddenly wondering about pavone, Italian peacock, maybe a symbol for Pavia, but will need another example!

May be, thanks. I was wondering about pelican in her piety but for that you need young. What looks like a foot could be young, perhaps.
