No issues at all. Just the opposite, as I support the possibility of diverse, contributing influences from "Oresme" to Shirakatsi - just on one page. The resulting problem is how to accommodate such a wide variety of sources - from the Agnus Dei of Liège to the blue hatted Virgo of Prague. How might a person of that era, (1400-1450), have built up such a diverse background of visual references? From Melusine of the Valois to the Muses of Pizan. Is it even possible???
Then, beyond that, the artist 'plays' with the images. In the intentional Cosmic Combination, and changing the pictorial representation of Earth to vords, to the dualistic interpretation on White Aries, and the hidden use of obscure heraldic canting.
The VMs balneological illustrations include a number of visual vignettes, Philomela, Ananke and her spindle, Colette of Corbie with her ring and cross, beside several from above.
It's not like the visual references are absent from the page. Even when obfuscated and disguised, the visual references based on "medieval" information are present. They were presented by the VMs artist, but now are not easily recognized, often being unfamiliar to the modern reader.
