I've been posting a bit lately about how I think the plants on the foldout 89v_1_2 are special. They have been drawn in an ambiguous way, so that they can be seen both as plants and as representations of scenes or figures from Greek myth. On my blog, I argue that these images likely had a didactic function, helping traders to memorize the local names for a number of important plants and products.
Today, I started posting on the last group on this foldout, which might be the most convincing plants mnemonic wise. They represent Heracles (Hercules) and two creatures he famously fought: Cerberos and the Hydra. I've put up the first post about the leftmost plant, which I identify as teak, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. Tomorrow I'll get Cerberos and the Hydra online.
As always, comments, questions and criticism are welcome
