About those nuns. Consider the events of the Colettine Poor Clares. There were also men, the Coletani, a Franciscan off-shoot. Their emphasis on poverty could lead to "visions".
First monastery established in Besançon (1410), then Auxonne (1412) and Poligny (1415). These are all a bit east of Dijon. As late as 1444 in Heidelberg. All biographies tend to skip over most of her other monastery foundations.
Colette died in a monastery in Ghent in 1447. The interesting thing about her biography is the inclusion of stories about a mystical crucifix and a mystical ring. And among the VMs nymphs there are specific figures that possess such items. Are these representations some sort of subtle, or not so subtle, references to the information regarding Colette of Corbie? Without the relevant history, there is no reference at all.
This is yet another example of the sort of cultural icons that were known to the VMs artist.
The VMs Oresme cosmos, the Golden Fleece, New Jerusalem, the Luxembourg Melusine, the Berry library, the traditions of the church and the rules of heraldry, and more are historically compatible with the C-14 results.
