merrimacga I agree with what you say.
I am skeptical about the impact that an art historian can have on this forum. With all my respect to Martina Pippal, I don't think she has the level of international recognition that Erwin Panofsky enjoyed. I think I am the member of this forum who has cited him the most times. I have sometimes been annoying saying for years that Panofsky's ideas are fundamental to understanding the iconography of the Voynich. It has been useless.
