Extended image description for Figure 9
The innermost rings are labeled “Children” and divide into New Testament and Old Testament sections. At the top center sits “MARY,” flanked by “Peter,” “John,” “Adam,” and “Moses.” Below Mary are rows of women from the Old Testament: “Eve,” “Rachel,” “Sarah,” “Rebecca,” “Judith,” and “Ruth.” The New Testament side includes “John the Baptist,” flanked by “Lucy,” and “Anne.” Below “Moses” is “Francis,” “Benedict,” “Augustine,” and others, while the opposite side mirrors with Old Testament figures. Each “petal” or section connects to a biblical or saintly figure, forming an ordered celestial seating chart in Paradise.
