On the cover page the Flight to Egypt above a profiled console, against which, in view of the bands depicted there, two coats of arms have been placed. Mary is turned away from the viewer on the donkey, which goes to the right and is led by Joseph. She has wrapped her wide cloak around herself and the child who looks up to her and holds it in her left arm, she has a slip of the cloak in her right hand. Joseph walks ahead with great strides and looks after her. He holds the rein in the left hand and a staff on the right, which rests on the shoulder and on which hangs a basket. He wears a hood and cloak, which is folded back over the shoulder, releasing part of the tunic and sleeves. The hilly landscape at the top left shows, among trees, a farmstead, for which there is a column with a falling idol, to the right in the field a man mowing wheat with a sickle. Above both scenes a walled city with houses and a tower-shaped structure, to which a staircase leads. This structure consists of two corridors with floors surrounded by battlements, the top of which still has turrets and gargoyles.
