Oh, and that's not all! The You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. shows a column of green water that flows into the pond, and from above it is apparently connected with air or something similar (gas?), since the edges painted in blue have a wavy nebuli pattern, although not pronounced.
So, blue is air (gas, steam, smoke), green is water???

I think tubes and rainbows ( or whatever ) differ by the type of edges on the ends. Tubes have a clear cross section while rainbows are flat at the ends.

R Sale, normally i could accept such a suggestion but in this case it clashes with my own understanding of the pages in question, as they suggest certain localities to me. It would be like saying, here is some information about the south of Spain, but dont miss the double entendre regarding double rainbows of Burgundy, wink wink...which by the way resemble every other double rainbow and single rainbow depictions of the same idea, Christ in glory/judgement, for a stretch of over a thousand years. I mean, pretty much the same picture can be found in the apse mosaic of Hosios David in Thessaloniki from the late 5th century. What would set the Dijon emblem apart from any of that history of tradition? And what would it signify? The beginning of the end?

If blue is air, then all the pictures on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. represents air... or mercury?

@Searcher: I thought once in the same direction.....green would be sulphur ?

I think it's possible. Tomorrow I'll try to define the sequence of those pages. You are not allowed to view links.

Linda,

There is no question that ambiguity leaves plenty of room for interpretation. In fact, I can't say that there is anything in particular that ties the VMs double rainbow to the history of Sainte Hostie. And actually the connection came about in another way. Instead, given that the Golden Fleece connects to Burgundy, and Melusine, as a mermaid, connects to Burgundy, the question is how could the illustration of the a double rainbow, as a potential 'throne of Christ', be connected to the Duchy of Burgundy?

And *BOOM*!! There it is. La Sainte Hostie de Dejon. Christ represented of a rainbow throne, with provenance practically identical to the Order of the Golden Fleece. Both of these were significant events of the time; they were connected in time and place. Both are much faded in the modern perspective, Sainte Hostie in particular. History has become obscure, a 'dark mirror', information has 'gotten lost'. That doesn't negate the historical validity, even tough some investigators may find certain details unfamiliar.

The rule of Philip the Good was a golden age of sophistication. Burgundy and England held Paris from 1420 to 1435. His third wife was Isabella of Portugal (m. 1430), commemorated by the origin of the Order of the Golden Fleece.  In the 1440s, he had ships in the Black Sea. It's easy to underestimate the realities of that time.

The VMs artist was not seeking to clearly elucidate the realities of the time, but sought instead to ambiguously disguise and obfuscate them from others of the time, who would have known them as well. A variety of tricks have been employed, but once the reality behind the disguise is identified, the tricks of ambiguity can be exposed as well. (The VMs cosmos, Melusine, the Genoese Gambit on White Aries)

I agree that the one on top of f83v, which I unfortunately overlooked, is much more rainbow-like, due to the red and yellow.
It still has liquid or fumes coming out of it.

Still, everything else on the page is 'tubes'.

Maybe the red and yellow represent blood and yellow bile, but also that is guesswork.

Interesting that curved pipes can flow from both ends. I didn't know that was possible.

What sorts of pipes were made that had different colored stripes? Examples, please.
