Beatus map

[Linda]

I see several connections with various Beatus Maps and MS408. Some have tubes for rivers (Paris). Some have mountains that are similar to those drawn in the MS (London). Some have people/angels that look like our nymphs. I just noticed that Turin has, near Eve, some tubey rivers around a mountain that resemble those near the nymph that some of us were talking about as depicting Temperence. It also has a good example of the crossed-eyeball-looking rivers in Africa that I think are paralleled in the MS. The similarities mixed amongst so many different versions through space and time made me think that someone was studying these and commenting on the differences.





With regard to the paradise map of rivers, the Milan Mapa de Ona version has that too: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
