Description

Version of the "Shield of the Trinity" diagram included in a ca. 1230 manuscript of Robert Grosseteste's writings (Durham Cathedral manuscript A.III.12, f. 14v).

In this version of the diagram, the "EST" and "NON EST" captions of the links connecting the nodes are written in both directions along each link.
