The sphere of Burgundy

[Linda]

Back to the topic at hand, i think 

A) that your interpretation of the droplets is problematic and that it fits the structure of the vms critter only because of the ambiguity which is unique to this rendition of the opening of the sixth seal. Most other versions others show stars or molten stone in place of what you interpret as lamb's blood droplets, which ruins the structure you speak of, if they equate, which i think they do.

B) you are collecting an impressive set of coincidences but they don't really seem to point to any particular narrative. Why would the coincidence of sacking the town that the producer of the book had lived in a century previous by various ancestors and descendants of the current owner be relevant, other than maybe that is how he came to own what he possessed...but still, as a mnemonic that is a bit much to get from it, considering all the rest that is supposed to be in there too. Plus how does that relate to the rest of the page, or the quire?

And yet i still kind of like it as it pulls other parts of Europe into the mix that don't otherwise appear to be depicted.
