Tree of consanguinity and affinity
Description
Tree of consanguinity and affinity added at the end of the 'Tabula theologie'. The tree, whose intertwines suggest an initial rooting, is framed by a king and a queen represented in coloured drawings at the base of the tree. The degree of relative consanguinity is illustrated with a tree filled with rows, depicting the ties between family members, presenting the biological link between different persons and reconstructing the ordered sequence of generations within a family group.
