f18v...Dioscorides...something about those leaves
#80
If a mermaid is defined as being a fish from the waist on down, then the *human* feet and serpent-like tail are very problematic. She might represent some version of a mythological Melusine, but she has arms, and no wings, so not tending to draconian.

Also note the red cheeks and lips, particularly in the first illustration (Post #81) and pretty much throughout.
