The White Rose of the Saints: Paradiso Diagram
Concentric petal-like compartments form a white rose around a small central circle. Handwritten keys name Mary, Eve, Rachel, Beatrice, biblical women and saints, while side labels distinguish believers in Christ before and after his coming. The diagram cites Paradiso XXXII and is signed E. M. B. It makes the poem’s ordered community visible as a densely structured flower.
