Fol. 67v:

The page includes headings followed by illustrations and associate tables for two constellations, Aries (טלה) and Taurus (שור), which end is on fol. 65 (see document). The page includes also the end of Triangulum (המשולש) table, which start and illustration are on the recto of this page (see document).

Aries is illustrated on the right by a ram turning its head to the left. He is coloured in light brown with eighteen gold and silver bezants, which mark its stars. They are placed according to the table, as follows: thirteen gold stars framed in red are spread on its body, and five silver smaller stars, which are "Not in the form" ((אינם בצורה, are in the upper left side of the panel.

The following constellation, Taurus, is illustrated on the left by a goring ox, drawn without hind legs and tail in ochre colour. Forty four silver and gold bezants, which mark the stars of this constellation, are placed according to the table on fol.65, as follows: thirty-three gold stars on his body and head, the six on the head outlined in red, and eleven smaller silver stars, which are "not in the form", surround its body from the outside.

The headings of the constellations and the title "not in the form" are written within small rectangular panels with gold borders in burnished gold letters on dark blue ground surrounded by dots and floral motifs in white and red colours. The upper border of the panels on the right column extends upwards to include the flag of the letter lamed.

The tables are written in alternating red and brown ink including headings in geometrical (zigzag) shapes in micrography.
