Open book with yellowed pages, featuring black text in a language that appears to be Latin, accompanied by colorful illustrations and decorations. The left page displays a large, vertically oriented, blue, red and gold design on the left margin that resembles a plant or foliage. A smaller, circular illustration is positioned within this design, depicting a man with a white beard and hair, wearing an orange robe with a blue cloak, holding a sword. The man appears to be seated. Above the illustration on the left page, a line of text in blue, red, and gold letters reads " Thessalon". The right page is partially visible. The background of the image is gray.
