Medieval Manuscripts with Foldouts - -JKP- - 04-12-2018
A thread for examples of foldout folios from c. 1500 and earlier.

Some points of interest:
- Clearly designed for portability (115 x 85mm), a little smaller than the VMS. Possibly created for someone who earned money as a fortune-teller?

- Connection between health, hygiene, and astrology.
- Note that the charts are in Roman numerals, so it might be on the earlier rather than the later side of c. 1450.
