Palatino 766 pipes, pools, cliffs, streams... (by Taccola)

[Koen G]

It's interesting to see that the star-shaped rays occur elsewhere. These ones you found also illustrate how close the Taccola star is though. In between the 8 points, it has longer lines in the right places. The VM kind of "tentified" the thing, but the shape match is remarkable. And it all sits comfortably in the first half of the 15th century.

An interesting question would be where this ray-star sun type came from. I doubt Taccola invented the type.
