Is f85v3 about air?

[Rafal]

I'm sure there are other references to

Greco-Roman mythology.

I did some more research on wind gods and ancient references in medieval manuscripts.

It actually expanded my horizons. I was taught at school that in medieval ages ancient heritage was completely forgotten and was only rediscovered in Renessaince when refugees from Constantinople which had fallen to Muslims reached Western Europe and brought the ancient ideas.

It wasn't that simple.

References to ancient, pagan Graeco-Roman heritage existed in medieval manuscripts:

Hercules slaying Cerberus, and Theseus and Pirithous battling demons.


On the other hand they were rare. For one picture with pagan content there were probably 50 pictures with Christian content.

I made some search for wind gods in medieval books.
I wasn't able to find "full body [b]naked wind gods[/b]". The closest thing were heads blowing air:


It looks like artists became bolder only in Renessaince, going with "full frontal nudity"  

So to sum it up, I would say that Voynich imagery of supposed wind gods is quite unusual and brave for early 1400s but still possible in theory.
Don't know if it helps with anything
