Getting close to a source for f85r2

[MarcoP]

Hi Koen,
I agree that Augusburg is likely close to the original for the Seasons. The fact that the woman with rosary stands for winter both in A and B seems significant.

To complete the evidence about scholars and Humours:

Zurich strangely has a scholar between Sanguine and Choleric, so it apparently illustrates Choleric. There is an inscription above the desk: "Inder zit var"? "In der zit var". The guy is writing a book, or maybe drawing an illustration (there is blue paint on the pages).

Augusburg has a guy sleeping at his desk for Flegmatic and a Melancholic man reading a book.

   

Munich has these descriptions for the humours:

• Sanguine: ein junger gesell der seittenspil tript (A young fellow who plays a "seittenspil")
  
• Choleric: ein man der zornklich gestalt hett (A man with an angry appearance)
  
• Flegmatic: ein mast sloffen man (A fat, sleepy man)
  
• Melancholic: ein man der jn buchen list (A man who reads books [?])
  

EDIT: I confirm that the Choleric illustration is missing from Berlin. A page was lost, line 2132-70 and probably the illustration was at the end of the missing page. The text resumes with the large initial for Choleric.

EDIT2: The melancholic is typically stingy and timid, rather than ostentatiously rich. A case full of coins seems to me a clearer illustration than showing off a big ring.
