In my last post I noted that a copy of the Sworn Book of Honorius (our guide to decoding the VMS) was inscribed with "Sum Ben: Jonsonij liber".
That should erase all doubt that "liber" rather than "leber" was the intention because, in MSG Theory, the person named in that inscription became a close personal friend of the author of the VMS marginalia.

I find it very sad that institutionalized ignorance on the made-in-northern-Italy theme (now extended to northern Europe by some) makes you guys incapable of seeing that the VMS depicts the real experiences of real women trying to survive in a real tropical swamp.

...and the animal is a goat, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. shows the two horns curving backwards, not antlers, which are branched.
My 2 cents worth.

Register or Login to view.DONJCH, I hate to have to inform you of this but, in addition to horns, goats have great big ears which are nowhere to be seen in the VMS depiction.None of the goats around here have either great big ears nor horns. I think you're confusing them with elephants (African ones, obviously).

The gal is looking at her friends high up in the tree running down the entire left side of the page.She's probably wondering "why didn't you warn me about this damned alligator that's eating me"
