And the text as well.
Hi seridane!
I enjoyed looking at your drawings, they are beautiful, and also interesting in terms of the choices you made, not only to see it from your point of view, but it also helps me see the vms version even better. I noticed a few differences, but it's funny, some I just accept, like your nymphs are different, but somehow they just seem like they are your nymphs instead of the makers' nymphs, doing similar things. But some other differences I found enough to give a few alternate answers, if someone used your copy as the basis to answer certain questions about a vms page. Maybe those things don't matter either, it's hard to say until we know what it all is. But i very much enjoyed having something to compare, and those differences made it all the more interesting! I got both a clearer sense of what I myself think does or doesn't matter, and some about your own ideas to consider! I didn't know the plants you drew off hand, but it would be fun to figure them out and then compare again with the vms drawings. I think you should make us guess them all, like Koen did with the Herb Paris!
I would love to see more of quire 13 drawings especially!
I am more than half tempted to recreate a part of your experiment for myself, half had it in my mind to do my own transcription of quire 13 to get a better feel of it, and to compare with all the others, I wonder how yours would compare also! Maybe the differences there can move us all forward somehow too. Thanks for the recommendation, i think i am going to try. Not sure my results will be able to hold a candle to yours, though, you did a great job!

Very nice!
A tip for scanning: to reduce the see-through in the image, try placing a black sheet behind the page.
The page will look darker this way, but you can fix that in post-processing.
All the best, --stolfi

Almost a year and a half ago I registered on this site for the first time and made a hello post where I said I was going to make a copy of the entire manuscript by hand. Never posted or commented since, though I've done a lot more lurking and reading.
And I've done it!
Almost.
I have about 2 pages left to ink, and 20 pages plus the Rosette fold out to paint. And of course I have to bind the entire thing. I'm hoping I'll be completely done in two or three weeks.
I'm in the process of scanning and formatting the pages I've completed while I finish the last physical pages, and I think at least one person was interested in seeing it? Here's a link to a goole drive folder with a sampling of completed pages if that's you: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Let me know if there are any particular pages anyone is interested in and I'll add them.
Thanks for looking!
