Hi Lisa, I would love to know more of the features that you find to be particularly telling in this respect. When this thread started, I remembered that you said something along these lines in some other post or maybe in a video. I searched for it, but I was unable to find anything (searching videos is still quite frustrating).
Something that is obviously more feminine than masculine is the number of subjects in the illustrations: women are clearly predominant. One can observe something similar (possibly even more drastic) in the already mentioned You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (The City of Ladies) by Christine de Pisan / Pizan. This parallel is not conclusive, but it could hint to some role of women in the creation of the manuscript.
