No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

On the zodiacal page of Pisces, each of the fish holds a star, like the female figures that surround them. No one would think that these are real fish and that it is about the astral influence on aquatic creatures. We all know that Pisces is a constellation of stars and that fish are pure symbolism.

Well, it's the same with female figures. They are not real women of flesh and blood, each one of them represents a star in the sky. And the same is in Quire 13. It is not a balneological or biological section. There are no real women bathing nor is it about anything to do with women's physiology.

It seems strange to me that this, which is basic in medieval iconography, is not understood.
