The 55th flag mentioned and illustrated in the Book of All
Kingdoms [e9s50] is attributed to
Cerdeña (Sardinia). This as depicted in the 2005 spanish
illustrated transcription [e9s05],a
vertically striped yellow and red flag, with five red
stripes alternating with five yellow stripes, the latter slightly
narrower, the flag shown in the ogival default shape of this
source
The anonymous author of [e9s50]
describes the flag thusly: "El rey de Cerdeña á por
señales bastones del rey de Aragón, commo estos." (The
king of Sardinia has for device bars of the king of Aragon, like
these).

I found the ancient image of the flag of Sardinia in a book
whose title is “La magnifique et somptueuse pompe funebre
faite aus obseques et funerailles du tres grande et tres
victorieus empereur Charles cinquieme, celebrees en la ville de
Bruxelles le 29e jour du mois de Dicembre 1558 par Philippes roy
catholique d’Espaigne son fils” published in Anvers
in 1559 by the editor Plantin.
Here is the whole
image from the book.
