Isabel's curious cover designs, in which her Earthly Master R.F.B. reaches down from Heaven, and a faithful companion pines at the grave of its master.
The design on the top left is the Benedictine Cross, in which
NDSMD = Non draco sit mihi dux (May the dragon never be my guide);
CSSML = Crux sacra sit mihi lux (May the Cross be my light);
C | S | P | B = Crux Sanctus Patrus Benedicti (The Cross of the Holy
Father Benedict);
and the other letters are from some latin verses: "Vade Retro Satana
..." etc.
(see The Book of Holy Indulgences by Michael Comerford, p. 219).
