Are the 1430s the most likely date range for the Zodiac drawings?

That inspires the question of *where* the data is most likely to be found? And the clear answer from Koen's list of references is Paris. So, why Paris? Clearly this would have something to do with the scale of manuscript production, and also depend on their rate of survival.

The collection of data should continue when new information is found. For the VMs Gemini woman's sleeve, the question is how dagged is 'dagged'? And for the man, how tight is the cuff and how loose is the sleeve? Can the sleeve be too tight or too loose? Is this like the investigation of the cardinal's galero? The definition is quite specific, but the actual depictions in medieval illustrations are pretty diverse. In fact, diversity of appearance seems to be a predominant factor in medieval art, even when the scene depicted is a single, specific event. One of my favorites is Eleazar and the elephant. There is so much variation. [Tagged as 'Eleazar Avaran'.]

The M*M site already had a tag for 'sleeves'. I've added a few more.

What's the opinion on these sleeves?
