This idea amuses me a lot. It turns out that the girls on You are not allowed to view links.

   That row of arches in the pool on folio 78v is merely a Gothic decorative feature that was in vogue in the early 15th century. Architectural motifs from churches were applied to small objects, as in this instance.[..]

This passage amuses me also - a bit, not a lot.

You have been taking much effort to declare the "bathing" scenes to something like a cosmic, galactic flow of stars.

But here, you remark very exactly the noticed (architectural) structures of basin in f 78v drawing.

Yes, there is a remarkable difference between all "baths":
- some are clearly constructed, with a rim or a border, like those basins in 78r, 78v, 81r etc.
- others look like having more natural, irregular boundaries, just as ponds or other water bodies, f.ex. in 82r, 79v
- number of "nymphs" (not muses) is variating across all baths

If your symbolism of some "heavenly flow" or "galactic fluent stars" was anyhow right:
- why are the drawings clearly differentiating between quite earthly construction details and natural shores?
- why are there even any kinds of pools necessary for this representation (of your theory)? -- some simple flows of colour and figures which not need to end in pools would have been enough and better for such purpose.

Yes, I also see some kind of humour in medieval manuscripts; 
but here, there is just a bunch of women taking baths under strange and unknown conditions. Try WYSIWYG.

Would be more promising to find european cultures with bathing customs or rituals that may have allowed the VMS representation - even with a bit of humour.
