It's certainly interesting to think about and I'll dig about see if it's possible to find who illustrated this piece.
What really interests me about Kircher is that if he did send several letters requesting the manuscript, and he did own it for a while.. why did he never mention it after that point. I don't know the answer to that but it has sent me down a research rabbit hole I am enjoying right now.
I'm currently looking through a few of Kirchers books as I think if he did own the manuscript maybe there's more examples of images matching up. Or maybe the key lies with the illustrator... back down the rabbit hole for a bit!
