@bi3mw Thanks for the sources.
Here's the quandary. The Vms is hypothetical, visually, and indecipherable, literally. A comparative text can be read but lacks illustrations <in a part>. How are these texts to be compared for topical homogeneity? If both texts were considered to be unreadable, what happens to the comparison then?
How many topics are too many? It depends. How many sources?
There are a variety of descriptions for nymphs. Only some of them are bathers. Mainly in all the ones in the greenish illustrations of Quire 13. They remind me of Christine de Pizan's illustration of the Muses. VMs has one depiction with nine bathers, and a second, more subtle version with nine to the left - out if 16. Just a curiosity.
The thing I found interesting in the latest source was the date and place: Elsaß, 1438/40.
What was the situation regarding Elsaß and the State of Burgundy coming up to that time? Would the events of Burgundy be known there as well?
