Death of a Phoenix, burning in the flames. Description from source:

The phoenix turns to face the sun, beats its wings to fan the flames and is consumed. There is some pouncing around the bird and flames. This was probably done while the manuscript was being made because it is concealed by the back of f56 being stuck to another sheet. Thus f 56 and 56v are actually 2 sheets stuck back to back. The glued backing to this sheet conceals the hole in its vellum.
