It shows the same pattern as the city flag, the cross a bit
stretched vertically to match the gonfalone. This includes also
the lettering "PISA" on the dexter top.

The 27th flag mentioned and illustrated in the Book of All
Kingdoms [e9s50] is attributed to
Pisa. This as depicted in the 2005 Spanish illustrated
transcription [e9s05], a plain red
flag, shown in the ogival default shape of this source.
The anonymous author of [e9s50]
describes the flag thusly: "El señor della á por
señales un pendón todo colorado" (And its lord has for
sign a fully red pendon.).

In the Catalan Atlas [c2q75], Pisa is shown
with a plain red flag, as described in the Book of All Kingdoms. The flag is
rectangular, nearly square, with the ending in form of a rounded point with
concave top and bottom edges, a form similar to that of many other flags from
the same source. For unclear reasons, parts of Europe and Africa next to the
right-hand edge of the third leaf of the Atlas (or sixth half-leaf, as is is now
divided) are repeated along the left-hand edge of the fourth leaf (seventh
half-leaf); this includes the northwestern part of Italy, so Pisa and its flag
are shown twice on the map, but the flag shape is drawn as identically at both
places as it was possible to do by hand, both times with the sinister hoist.
