The precise origin of this diagram is unknown, but it was evidently influenced by 12th-century experiments in symbolizing the Trinity in abstract visual form, mainly by Petrus Alfonsi's Tetragrammaton-Trinity diagram of ca. 1109. The Shield of the Trinity diagram is attested from as early as a ca. 1208-1216 manuscript.
