Gravura intitulada VERITAS: figura feminina coroada com livro e raios de luz, cercada por atacantes, um canhão e um livro com a palavra tradição.

Veritas: a verdade como palavra de Deus assediada pela perseguição e pela violência

Uma gravura sob a palavra VERITAS mostra uma figura feminina central, com o torso nu e coroada, segurando um livro e irradiando luz, enquanto um canhão com a inscrição VIOLENTIA e figuras com faixas e um livro marcado TRADITIO avançam pelas laterais. Linhas finas de buril modelam as figuras, as nuvens e os raios.
