Lettering: Sunt auscultent qui Platoni, aut facundo Ciceroni, aut mundi stultitiae. Tu ne verba vitae sperne: Audi patris aeviterne dicta sapientiae. Anton. Wierx fecit et excud. Translation of lettering: Some listen to Plato or to eloquent Cicero, or to the stupidity of the world. [But] you, do not scorn the words of life! Listen to the Father's sayings of everlasting wisdom! The book held by Christ bears lettering: Erunt omnes docibiles Dei ("All shall be the pupils of God")
