@Koen: Just as an aside, I still get a lot out of this view today.

Are you saying that you still think that Quire 13 is about the distillation of something? If so, can you elaborate? Which elements in which illustrations? What do you think is being distilled?

I agree with the 1 comment "the images do not connect":
D.O'Donovan. said...
The 'alchemical' theory has been around for a century and more, so it might be a good idea to see why it has never gone anywhere and why speciaists in the history of western Europe's alchemy and alchemical imagery uniformly reject the idea - at least in the form it has usually been expressed.
I'm not saying the subeject of the folio can't be alchemy. What I'm saying is that the images do not connect with the well-known and well-studied corpus of western European alchemy, and it's important to try and get interpretations o the images right (as right as we can) if we're to be of any service to manuscript studies, to the Beinecke, and most of all to people working on the manuscript's written text, which most people think is written in an Italian humanist hand.

I am not an expert in distillation but doesn't the distillation process require some kind of heat source? Where is the heat source?
What is the input? What is the output? What are they trying to collect? Do they want the condensed stuff that is left after the vaporization of what they want to get rid of? Or are they collecting the stuff that is vaporized and collecting the condensation?
