Excerpt from A Bodleian Guide for Visitors The arms of the Universit in the top left panel are: on a blue ground, tween three gold crowns, an open book, which now bears the motto Dominus illuminatio mea. The book is ornamented with gold edges, and has on one Side seven half-thongs with seals attached, and on the other side the half thongs which have been cut to allow of the book being opened. The book clearly alludes to the book with seven seals opened by the Lamb, of. Rev. V. 1, 5. The crowns may refer to those cast before the throne Rev. Iv. 10; and the number has been con jectured to be emblematic of the Trinity. The motto, meaning The Lord is my Ii ht, is the Latin title of Psalm xxvii. At t e be ginning of the seventeenth century its use had not been fixed; and, as we shall find, other mottoes were then found on the book in the University arms.
