In this came

also to present the Universita

of the Jews of Pesaro who came

as the decorated livery

beautiful and ornate to

represent the Queen of Sheba

when she came to visit and present

Salomon with this visible[?] order

sent as a first quantigio?

various children [or cherubs] two by two

with new clothing of people

and spoke in the Arabic style

with date palms in the hands.

Then came a large elephant,

bigger than a large ox with a muzzle and

with teeth so well hidden that

they almost seemed real

and one couldn’t see [??]

legs of the men who were in

the elephant

that it is impossible to

write of this in detail for those

who did not see the amazing

artifice that was created.

And at the top of this elephant

was a golden chair in which was seated a Jewish woman with

a crown as a Queen dressed in gold and behind her

two more elephants

who looked similar.

On them was a tower with flags on it and

the Queen’s ladies in waiting.
