No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

Linda, I'm not sure if we're seeing the same thing. I repeat that there are four pages (f76v, f79r, f80r, and f82v) where the female figures are on a blue surface, and their legs and feet are clearly visible. This doesn't happen when the surface is green, which suggests that green represents water, but blue doesn't.

  I know there are some extremely ambiguous places, like the page with the green pool with blue arches, but this does not invalidate the general conception of the color blue in Quire 13, where we almost always see it at the top. And that's because what it represents is the blue of the sky. And it's consistent with the fact that the female figures appear to be descending from those celled, tent-roof structures that represent the sphere of fixed stars in the medieval universe.

   I would like everyone to abandon their preconceptions and look carefully at page f75v. What we see here is a blue fluid flowing down from that structure and connecting to the heads of ten female figures. I suppose no one would think that those figures were positioned like that so that a trickle of water would fall on them.

   Those figures are in a green pool, but the fluid then flows down to a blue pool. Finding logic in this doesn't seem possible, so I believe it's all symbolism, and the colors could represent the blue of the air and the green of the water in the spheres surrounding the Earth in medieval cosmology. Although the colors aren't necessary to explain Quire 13
