I've increased the number of image attachments per post (and also made the thumbnails a tad bigger). Limit is now 25, FYI.

Register or Login to view.Regarding the term "German" for the epoch in question: it looks like that it is well-established jargon even in academia. I am currently reading "White Magic, Black Magic in the European renaissance" by Paola Zambelli (most interesting book!), and she consistently uses words such as "German" and "Germany". She even calls Paracelsus a "German" author.

It could be that the Voynich Sagittarius has just placed his bolt / arrow on the loaded weapon. Apparently this was done holding the weapon with your left and placing the bolt with your right.
