116v Multiple Entries

[Jorge_Stolfi]

The nymph on 116v is probably the most advanced in the entire manuscript, yet also shows key elements of VM imagery. So does the sheepgoat. I'd find it unlikely that the marginalia drawings were created by an unrelated later owner. Still there is a noticeable gap in artistic development between the best VM nymphs and this one on the last page.

Indeed, and I must retract my previous suggestion that those three pics on the corner of You are not allowed to view links.
