Since vetted threads have yet to sprout, perhaps there are things that the VMs artist clearly needed to know in order to draw the illustrations found in the VMs today. What did this person know and see and transcribe in this text?
Feel free to contribute:
I'll lead off with heraldry: Heraldry was significant throughout the golden age of Burgundy. The jousts at Arras were historical. VMs heraldry is limited, subtle and disguised. It can barely be seen on the bathing tubs of VMs Pisces and the two Aries pages. A more specific and conclusive example can be seen through the identification of the nebuly line. The VMs artist's knowledge of the nebuly line is demonstrated by its use in the VMs Cosmos. The nebuly line is a cosmic boundary. It's all part of Social Media 1435 > of the years c. 1435.
Provenance of the Oresme cosmos is to the library of Jean, Duc du Berry (d. 1416). And one of the best examples of a nebuly line as a cosmic boundary in historical images is in the Berry Apocalypse, also belonging to the same duke. Of course, the books survived.
What else might the VMs artist have known? <<And skillfully have misrepresented in these illustrations.>>
