Okay, maybe I was reaching a bit farther than I can stretch about the comb and fingers in the VMS image possibly being mirror images of those items as found in the Hunterian Psalter.
It wasn't one of my major arguments, just something I noticed yesterday and thought I'd comment about. I had mentioned the comb in the first entry to this thread, but hadn't noticed the fingers/tail extensions as being possible mirror images also. It may be only a resemblance in my mind.
Thank you Diane and JKP for your comments. You obviously both know lots more than I do about this subject. All I do is look at pictures and try to match them up. And JKP was, I think, the first to show the Hunterian image (unbeknownst to, or unremembered by, me when I started this thread - that's my story, anyway).
I must make a short set of statements here that cover any images I may share. I do not claim to be the first to post any manuscript images. I steal all the images I show off other peoples' and places' sites. I may or may not be the first to have noticed any specific resemblances to any images in the VMS. I am not an image expert nor do I claim to be. I am definitely not an expert on the history of any items I may show or offer for others to use or the VMS. I am taking a year long hiatus from trying to figure out the text and wanted something different to do like trying to figure out where and by whom the VMS was made. Everyone should feel free to use any of the images I offer in any way they desire - I have no claim on them. You don't even have to give me credit for finding them. I have no professional reputation to worry about, no tenure to protect, no position to defend and no irons in the fire as far as the images go. The images are ones that I came across in my searches and decided to share with anyone interested with no strings of my own attached. I hope my claim to fame of any sort will be my work on the text. This image stuff is just relaxation and fun time for me. If I fail to give proper credit to anyone about anything, please feel free to call me a no-good, low-down, dirty, rotten, nasty scoundrel. I've been called worse. And that's exactly the kind of guy I am.
Worse.
Thank you.
