Thankyou! I've added the sequences from all 4. Here is the best virgo from them: "Carpentras, Bibliothèque Inguimbertine - 75"
An interesting phenomenon I wanted to mention at some point is the frequent usage of virgo as the woman holding libra. One manuscript that you found shows this clearly:
Lyon. Bibliothèque municipale, Ms 5154
And a very virgo-like woman is holding the scales in 2 of the others:
Narbonne. Trésor de la cathédrale Saint-Just, 2 / Besançon. Bibliothèque municipale, Ms. 140
Sometimes it is a virgo-like woman, but in many many cases it is clearly the same woman, face, and clothing as the virgo in that manuscript. Is it also possible that the VMS artist may have drawn inspiration for the virgo design from a depiction of libra?
