: The illustration is at the place of Guyart des Moulins' prologue for the book of Genesis. It represents the Trinitarian God proceeding with the creation of the soul. The three persons of the Trinity are clearly distinguished in a horizontal representation with the Father in the middle, crowned with a tiara, the Son on his right, and an anthropomorphic Holy Spirit on his left. The illustration is not directly related to the content of the text of the folio, but more to the text of Genesis that follows, although the text of the folio includes a mention of the soul: "The soul of the righteous man has him for a room, for he rests in li and is with the threads of men, and according to this he is called espous, and the soul of the just man is the wife. »
