Sometimes I notice something that may not be worth its own thread. This thread is for such things. If interesting discussions develop, I can always split off posts.
Like... does this nymph have three breasts like the lady in Total Recall?  Member details

I wonder if it's some kind of conflict between the original artist and the dark-inked "breast corrector".

I was serious. Diana of Ephesus (Astarte).
All you have to do is draw three bumps on the chest and anyone in the middle ages would understand the reference. I'm not saying that's what it is. But I am saying that three bumps is all you would need to get the idea across as a mnemonic. Maybe some of the nymphs are goddesses. ![[Image: 307px-Diana_of_Ephesus.png]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b8/Diana_of_Ephesus.png/307px-Diana_of_Ephesus.png)

I find it hard to interpret the object next to the frog in f101v1. On jasondavies.com it is totally hidden by the crease, but it is visible on the Beinecke scans. Since it is green, the obvious answer should be "a leaf" but, maybe because of the frog, I tend to see some kind of animal?

Marco, when you post something like that it makes me realize how much I want to have the physical VMS in my hands for a few days.
