Discussion of the Konstellations

[Sam G]

Well I think you're kind of dodging my point that your interpretations require that these repeated motifs don't mean the same thing in each instance, and that they must be different in all cases.

Contrary to what you say about not trying to understand the entire manuscript, I think it is actually a good idea that the repeated and systematic aspects of the illustrations should be interpreted in a consistent way, rather than looking at one page in isolation, coming up with some explanation for it, and then ignoring the fact that the interpretations of specific motifs make no sense at all when applied to the other pages.  It's basically the same as with interpretations of the text that make sense when applied to one small section and yield complete nonsense everywhere else.
