Aga,
Are you acquainted with the origins of the Roman Catholic tradition of the cardinal's red galero, when it began and who started the tradition of giving the cardinals red hats? This is a part of ecclesiastical heraldry, using different colors , green for abbots, a different rank within the hierarchy; white for the Norbertines > Premonstratensians, a different order within the church, an order which interestingly held on in the Low Countries during the 1400s, while other western Premonstratensian abbeys were fading out.
The tradition of the cardinal's galero being red originated with Pope Innocent IV., who was Sinibaldo Fieschi. The Feischi armorial blazon is, bendy, argent et azur. Diagonal stripes alternating silver (white) and blue, and descending from the bearer's upper right. So there are the blue stripes.
VMs White Aries clearly has blue stipes and red and white hats What does it mean? The inner figure with the blue stripes is also one of the characters that has a red hat. If this illustrated association is meant to represent a member of the Feischi family as a cardinal, then there were several occasions where Sinibaldo's nepotism was showing, most notably his nephew, Ottobuono Fieschi, in 1251 CE.
Clearly there are two ways to interpret the orientation of the blue-striped patterns on the VMs tubs. The zodiac tub patterns show a strong but fickle affinity for certain basic, heraldic patterns from the start on VMs Pisces. Interpreting the orientation of the blue-striped patterns according to their radial presentation is one possible perspective. Interpretation of the orientation as it sits on the page is the other possible perspective. This second perspective then reveals two blue-striped patterns with an orientation compatible with the Fieschi pattern. The precise Feischi pattern, simple as it seems theoretically, is a bit hard to pin down. The colors can get reversed. The standard interpretation of a bendy of six parts imposes a modern rule for the counting of parts that would not have been relevant until several centuries after the C-14 dates. The modern structure of three divisions across the top line is also problematic for bendy patterns. An alternate version, with the topline divided by four can be found on the tomb of Pope Adrian V. (Ottobuono Fieschi).
It's not just the intentionally misdirected orientation at play here. The blue stripes are fighting against double coverage. The second part is the obfuscation of pattern and creation of ambiguity caused by filling in the lines between the blue stripes with certain patterns of ink lines. These are intended to block interpretation. If combined with the blue stripes, the result cannot be validly interpreted. Heraldry does not allow the combination of tincture designation systems. Pigments and hatching patterns do not coexist in heraldry, and it is a mistake to allow that they might. It is a 'mistake' intentionally placed in the path of progress.
That is how the identifications are hidden. Here is how they are structurally supported. Both cardinal and pope are in the proper hierarchical spheres. Both are in the most favored heraldic quadrant. Both are on a page that has the only medallion 'inhabitant' suitable for sacred sacrifice - White Aries. And there is a three-page structure where the blue-striped patterns are mirrored in location, in quadrant and in sphere, on two preceding pages by one of heraldry's obscure furs, called papelonny. This ties everything together, with a bit of subtle - till you see it - <hear it> - heraldic canting. It's the "pape' to 'papelonny' pun paired. The pair of witnesses required by Deuteronomy.
Perhaps it may still seem that these identifications cannot be absolutely proven, perhaps that level of proof may not be essential. It is only necessary that the VMs images be mistaken for the history they reveal. So that those who know the history can follow the history, and those who don't know the history can look elsewhere, and leave what has been hidden undisturbed. So if there is bullshit to be found, I suggest you will find it comes from the VMs.
The examples that you cite, such as the Golden Fleece, do not originate with me, but have previously been reported by various others. I view the identification as plausible and preferable to other current choices. And in that case, it is the nebuly line that gives credence to the Agnus Dei interpretation, the animal that belongs with a cosmic boundary. I believe such interpretations follow from relevant medieval traditions and historical information, if you don't want to follow them, don't.
