  Specifically, I'm looking for depictions of women that have red cheeks, attire or hairstyle similar to those in the MS, and/or facial/body structure depicted similarly as in the MS.
  
  I've found a lot of good candidates in southern Germany, particularly in the Cod. Pal. Lat. fonds of the Vatican Library (which was originally the collection of Heidelberg). 
  
  I'm attaching pictures of two pretty strong resemblances. The first is Cod. Pal. Lat 1726, a "Mythological Miscellany" manuscript.
  
  Note in particular the "nymph-like" lady in repose, together with doves that look kind of like the bird we see in the VMS:

  The posed people on the left hand pages also appear similar to the "Gemini" page of the VMS, which I believe someone (I think Koen?) has traced back to a possible link with manuscripts of the Wigelaf romance. But that's another post 
  
  
  The other, Cod. Pal. Lat. 1709 is an miscellany manuscript that contains a lot of astronomical and mythological illustrations. 
  
  Here is one of the Biblical plagues:

  Here is one depicting the influences of different planets:

  What other MSs like this have you found, and where are they from?[url=Google.com][/url]
