The Berry Apocalypse is an interesting manuscript. Can't see where it might have been mentioned here previously.

It is interesting in part since it appears to be painted with colors that are almost pastels.
It is relevant to the VMs because there are several illustrations where a cosmic boundary in the form of a cloud band is rendered through the use of a nebuly line with almost no embellishment. For any who might question the interpretation of similar lines used in the VMs Cosmos and the VMs Critter. Proof of concept, as they say.
And it is further interesting and potentially relevant because it belonged to Jean, Duc de Berry <again>. Also connected with the c. 1410 version of the Oresme cosmos and with the Myth of Melusine.
It was printed in Paris, as above texts plus the de Metz text in the version of Harley 334.
It was printed in 1415. And that's right in the target zone. That's what the provenance says.
Provenance is the key to this investigation. Contributions are appreciated.
