The French text reads:

"e pus plier ensemble come cel signe est fet:" [followed by a 3x3 grid].

The English translation reads"

  "then fold together as this diagram illustrates."

The Diuersa Cibaria versions reads:

& soththen veld togedere othe zeolue manere, ase theos fuguree is 
imad": [followed by a 3x5 grid]--"th" for thorn and "z" for the 
squiggly letter whose name I have forgotten.)

The only relevant difference is that one author thinks the grid is 
3x3 and one 3x5.

You are still left defending the position that, when redacting one of 
the two recipes in the corpus (I admit I had missed the other) that 
has a picture of how to make it, we should ignore the picture and 
make ravioli instead. I eagerly await your redaction of 
cressee--lasagna perhaps?
