Quire 13

[Searcher]

This finding could lead to the assumption that the nymphs themselves are partly the embodiment of "substances". The "headband" could be a kind of marker in which state the individual nymph is currently.
For example, the red "headband" could stand for heating, not only a state but a process.

The matter is that it depends on that how many color must be considered: three or four, i. e., green, blue and red or these three plus yellow. It is unclear, but it seems that some nymphs have yellow ribbons or veils. Possibly it is somehow connected with four colors of the four animals on f79v. If it turns so that the animals represent the four elements, then four colors of the headresses of the nymphs can indicate the same.

JKP mentioned in another thread different kinds of crowns in the Book of the Holy Trinity. They are seven (eighth one is possibly just a part of the double crown, but it must be checked in the text), and they corresponds to the seven planets and, possibly, the seven stages of the Great Work. So, there is a difference as the VMs nymphs have only three crowns, but I want to note that Quire 13 while not including any obvious crown, contains three finger rings: You are not allowed to view links.
