Frau Welt is an interpretation of allegory. And though the specific topic does not seem relevant to the VMs, the general technique still applies. The VMs is an interpretation of allegory, a representation of tradition.
Well, not so much a representation as it is a misrepresentation, - the plants, the cosmos, the works. Intentional misrepresentation, disguise - (It's everywhere!) - can be demonstrated in several fairly clear examples, starting with the VMs cosmos and the comparison with BNF Fr 565. The method of intentional misrepresentation is amplified by the technique of using combined illustrations. Whether it is the cosmic combination of Oresme and Shirakatsi or the hypothetical sea creatures of Harley 334 etc., with the generic mermaid replaced as the central figure in the VMs, by a well-drawn, poorly painted, (right color) representation of the Luxembourg version of mythical Melusine, reputed ancestress of the Valois dynasty. There is the clear duplicity of VMs White Aries that depends on a mere interpretation of allegory, or history, or orientation. The VMs author presents the Genoese Gambit. Does the interpretation of allegory follow the author's chosen topics? There are the bathing nymphs, partly borrowed from de Pizan's bathing Muses, [two versions in the KBR library] or the combination of a structurally unique representation of the Agnus Dei image with the lamb replaced by the Golden Fleece of the Duchy of Burgundy. Gideon and the Golden Fleece, cause Jason got canceled. It was a matter of interpretation.
