Nothing.

The nymph at the bottom is a representation like the generic mermaids in Harley 334 and two illustrations in Lauber's version of the "Book of Nature". The fact that she is not a mermaid indicates that she is another type of changeling, mythical Melusine, ancestor of the Valois lines of France.

Valois connections also place BNF Fr. 565 in the Berry library.

Are we looking at the same illustration? I don't see a changeling. I don't see a nymph changing into anything. I see a nymph being eaten by a monster.

Why don't you do a poll on this one?

But let's put that to the side for the moment. What other illustrations do you see as pointing to a connection with the life of Colette of Corbie? Why her?
