The middle of f82r as death or resurrection

[Anton]

One problem I see with the scenario where the dead person is struck by lightning is that this is really a person in "peaceful repose".

Medieval European sources tend to represent dying persons blissfully tranquil, even if they're being dismembered alive.

The pseudo-Paracelsus You are not allowed to view links.

And also by Coral, Azoth and certain signs drawn (p. 80).

I'd better rely on the lightning rod, but if we can locate matching between some vords in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and some vords in the folios depicting those plants, that would be a good start.

The four-legged apparatus could well stand for the mix of four winds, and there is the spirit appearing from behind.
