A charged crossbow
A spanned bow drawn above a page of untranscribed notes
A crossbow is drawn near the top of the leaf with its bow flexed and the cord hauled back over the stock, a charged or loaded crossbow. Below the drawing the leaf carries several lines of mirror-writing that this bundle does not transcribe. Its content is therefore not reproduced here, though its position places it within the surrounding study of the crossbow's force.
On this page
A charged (spanned) crossbow
A crossbow is sketched with its bow bent and the cord drawn back over the stock, ready to shoot; the catalogue title calls it a charged crossbow. It stands at the head of the leaf above the writing.
Untranscribed notes beneath the bow
The lower part of the page is filled with mirror-writing that is not included in this bundle. Because it sits directly beneath the charged crossbow it appears to belong to the surrounding analysis of the bow's force, but its wording is not supplied.
