Is the VMS homogeneous or a composite work?
#15
In the first text, [Post #13: BSB Cgm 28,Iatromathematisches Hausbuch, 15th century], the initial illustrations go through the sequence of zodiac medallions three times. 

And then there's this! The Zodiac Man.

Anyone seen Sagittarius? Capricorn is an ibex. And Scorpio!? There are no 'botanical' illustrations of plants, no cosmos, no portraits of the Planetes; there are no celestial or bathing nymphs, no rosettes, and no pictorial pharmacopoeia. The VMs is clearly far more diverse in its illustrated topics. Or does that make it 'all inclusive'?
 
Is that really the purpose of the VMs? Why then the dualistic interpretations of VMs White Aries, the hidden, historical pathway referenced by the nymph with the red hat and the blue stripes plus the required pattern pairing. [All historically validated and everything.] If all we have to follow in the VMs is seen through the illustrations, then reading the illustrations may promote a pathway to reading the language.
