The categorization provided by Lauber, which confirms the present evidence of Harley 334, shows that these are monsters and they are fish. And they include a mermaid. However they are not stories of Melusine.
The VMs illustration (f79v) has a very similar theme to the three similar examples of a mermaid and her companion creatures, which were drawn to provide prospective examples of these presumed, hypothetical fishy monsters.
While the overall format of these representations of the mermaid and her companions is similar, the VMs mermaid is significantly different from these first three, for starters.
The myth of Melusine has several variations that affect her visual representation, Is she a dragon, a mermaid, or a siren? The Burgundian version of this mythology, derived from the Valois connection, is the version from Luxembourg in which Melusine is most mermaid-like. The lower part of the VMs mermaid's illustration is so fishlike that it has been seen as a woman being swallowed by a fish (entering or emerging from a fish's mouth).
The description of Melusine's "merpart" as fishlike and blue with circular, silver droplets is not contradicted by the VMs representation, though the overly casual application of blue paint does contribute to a potentially desired increase in ambiguity.
But what is obviously different about the mermaid in VMs You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is that she has legs. You can see her knees. Mermaids are fish from the waist down. Mermaids don't have legs. Mermaids don't have knees. Mermaids don't emerge. Mermaids don't change form. Melusine does. In all the different versions of the story, Melusine does change form, she has legs.
The VMs representation is Melusine of Luxembourg, and it is Melusine inserted into a "Mermaid and her companions" format. This is an example of separate elements used by the VMs artist to make a merged combination. Merged combinations exist in the VMs cosmos (Oresme's cosmos inside Shirakatsi's 'wheel'); the VMs You are not allowed to view links.

Is White Aries the third page by accident and does it also depict a disguised version of the Fieschi popes in their celestial spheres? Disguised in that visual cues are made ambiguous, while structural cues and colors are maintained and employed to reaffirm the known, historical identification and the origin of ecclesiastical tradition.
