f82v: those rainbows

[-JKP-]

I found this one on a Russian You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. about Tacuinum Sanitatis, but don't know more about it. Apparently a rainbow sky accompanies someone picking and smelling herbs.

Thank you, Koen!
I would love to read the text associated with this illustration, but I have been unable to identify the ms it comes from and no similar image appears in the other copies I have examined.
My impression is that the colored bands might represent the planets, as in this illustration from You are not allowed to view links.

But I am speculating...

I didn't have a good chance to look at this when Marco first posted it but when I look at it now, the "rainbow" seems to be in a different style from the rest of the drawing. The bottom parts are fairly crisp and precise (in terms of line and shape), the colored part looks like a different illustrator. This would not be unusual, sometimes a whole team would work on a single manuscript, sometimes one person drew the people and someone else drew the animals, but it just struck me that the grass/plants/landscape and the colored cloud-shape are quite different.
