Now there are a greater number of VMs illustrations with potential religious content

There are few religious elements in the VMs easy to see: crosses, nebuly lintes, rainbows. The rest are more elaborated concepts difficult to find due to our lack of knowledge, we cant find what we ignore.
Is there any expert on Christian religion in the middle ages following this forum?

Hey, I thought it was you - the expert. The "rho-chi" thing is obvious *once you can see that it's there*! So, there really are two problems. Knowing what to look for. Knowing that there is trickery involved. Obviously, if the Christian 'Chi-rho' is the message, it could certainly have been presented more plainly and clearly. Just put two big letters on a page. That wasn't what was done. And so, we might ask, why?

Well, the answer isn't on the page, <exactly>, but part of the answer seems to accumulate with the increasing set of VMs interpretations that also have religious content and potentially coordinate with historical places and events compatible with the C-14 info.

The other part is trickery, ambiguity, disguise. The cosmos, Melusine, White Aries, the Agnus Dei, the Golden Fleece, the "rho-chi", the potential references to Mariology and the Colettine Poor Clares and more. 

The cosmic trick is that identification based on appearance will fail. Appearance has been altered and removed as a factor of interpretation and identification. Interpretation must rely on content and structure. And the 43 undulations, which is also ambiguous. Melusine imposes a specific, mythological identity upon a "generic" mermaid. White Aries is an example of dual interpretation, and so on.

Koen once asked about the 15th century perception of swallowtail merlons, but really we should be working on the 15th century of perception of everything. While little in the VMs is guaranteed, the set of compatible, historical interpretations is expanding, but what's with the trickery?
