Interestingly Andre Felibien interpreted the EGO in the phrase ET IN ARCADIA EGO as referring to the occupant of the tomb. Michel Felibien died 25 September 1719. He therefore would have been a contemporary of Dom Bernard Montfaucon at St. Germain de Pres. His presence at St. Germain de Pres suggests a route by which the meaning of ET IN ARCADIA EGO may have been communicated to Marie de Negre d'Ables via Bernard Montfaucon and Dom Cesar-Joseph Montpie de Negre.

mysteriouswritings.com/the-mysterious-parchments-of-rennes-le-chateau-and-their-secret-codes-and-ciphers/In the top left hand corner of the small parchment is a strange device looking a bit like a rotated number 4 with the small letters m above it and i in the triangle formed by the large character. books.google.co.uk/books?id=zHAsAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=falseThis character could possibly be linked to Bernard de Montfaucon. In his book Palaeographica Graeca(1708), p122( see link) is a chart showing old forms of the Greek alphabet.The last of the forms of the Greek Alpha, if rotated, resembles the number 4 like character on the parchment. If this character is intended to represent the letter Alpha or A, then the three letters that comprise the device might spell the word AMI or MAI(MAY). In Middle French the word AMI was spelt AMY which is an anagram of the English word - MAY. May is the 5th month and in English the value of the letters MAY add up to 39( 13+1+25).One possible interpretation therefore of the device in the corner may be that it was intended to indicate Chapter 5 verse 39(5/39) of the Gospel of St. Luke - the missing verse from the page in the Codex Bezae from which the Latin text of the parchment was taken.

The book 'Saint Cuthbert's Gospel', is rare. In fact, there is only one. The 'Saint Cuthbert's Gospel' book is a copy of the Book of John. Saint Cuthbert's Gospel is Saint John's Gospel. The 'Saint Cuthbert's Gospel' book is a relic, that was found in the coffin of Saint Cuthbert, in the tomb of Saint Cuthbert. The book has a dark red cover, of goat-skin. The book cover depicts a plant motif representing a stylised chalice with a bud and scrolling vine-stems. The text of the book was first published in 1806, when the relic was taken to London and displayed. Hmmm. A red-covered book. A chalice associated with grapes and blood. 1806. A tomb. What are you up to, Bow-TIE-IN-Arrow? www.onthisday.com/photos/st-cuthbert-gospelThe central motif of a stylised vine sprouting from a chalice reflects Christian imagery from the eastern Mediterranean.... The plant on the cover of the Gospel has a central leaf or bud and four fruits, echoing the text, ‘I am the vine, you are the branches’, from St John’s Gospel 15:5.archive.org/details/bub_gb_Ujz9mEdUL_8C/page/545/mode/2upVinea (p546)calix in manu domini vini meri pleno mixto,id est, homine Deo (p79)Both a chalice and vine are also titles of B.V.M. The vine also may be understood as referring to Jesus ( I am the vine) issuing forth from the chalice( B.V.M)

A KRATER or CRATER was a large vase of Ancient Greek manufacture, made of pottery and metal-work. It had a stepped foot, and two handles on the upper body for carrying the krater. The Greek krater was used for the mixing of wine with water.
CALYX-KRATER
These are among the largest of the Ancient Greek kraters. The lower body is shaped like the calyx of a flower. It had a stepped foot, and two handles on the lower body for carrying the krater.
