This source is interesting because of the specificity of its provenance, both in date and location. Plus, it drops right in at the beginning of the VMs C-14 timeline and it establishes a particular location - right in the heart of the French + German + Swiss => Burgundian historical florescence that would occur during this time. From cosmic diagrams to costmary and everything between, the art reveals the artist.
