  As Koen posted You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., this manuscript was highlighted by Volkhard Huth for containing two animals somewhat resembling the VM Scorpio. There's also crocodiles in a similar style.
     
     
     
  
  But this manuscript also has far more interesting imagery.:
  
  The overall composition of small roundels surrounding a large central one
  Moon faces closely resembling the VM Cosmo section
     
     
     
     
  
  Lots of figures pointing, including such with a beret like in VM You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. Moses is frequently portrayed with the same red cap
     
     
     
     
  
  Some are shown from behind which might have been the inspiration for VM You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
     
     
     
  
  Headdress closely resembling the VM Sagittarius crossbowman's

  A leopard which is a good match for the VM Leo
     
     
  
  Birds that resemble the ones found in VM f86v3. Note that birds nest and rest on trapeziod rocks like in the VM.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
  
  Frogs resembling the VM frog

  3-legged candlesticks resembling the base of some VM Pharma containers
     
     
  
  Maybe it's all a coincidence but I do think such imagery also was part of the VM artist's sources.

  I'm sorry but these do not convince me. The art style is that of the classic Diebold Lauber workshop, of which many tens, if not hundreds, of examples already exist.

  This MS is certainly part of the network of imagery the VM also drew from, but there is some distance stylistically. It is interesting that it adds bestiary images to more widely known Typological schemes. For example, the "Jonah" is a monkfish as it appears in the old bestiaries.

  Jonah resembles not only 83r but also 79v
  
     
  
  I could never understand that picture. Quire 13 is generally quite peaceful - a lot of happy women are bathing. And suddenly one of them is devoured by a fish.
