Description: This historiated title-page border by Anton Woensam of Worms depicts an image of heaven (top) and the four gospel writers and four doctors of the Western Church (sides). At the base is the ecstasy of Denis the Carthusian, in which he is flanked by the pope and other clerics and the Holy Roman Emperor and other rulers. The coats of arms of the pope and emperor are just above the quotation of the Vulgate of Psalm 84.
