I certainly agree with Aga that you can't isolate any of the nymphs, and have often argued this in the past. They tell stories - some of these stories are even larger than one page, they occupy the whole folio (one of the bathing pages is connected front and back, as if it were both sides of a large poster).
And Koen, I don't think "souls" is the right word; to me, that indicates the animating life force of a once-living person. Instead we're looking at anthropomorphic depictions. The Latin word was animus, which I think is the one still in use for such (or is that in Spanish?).
