On the other hand, the nudes in the Cosmological/Astrological section are by the same artist as those in the Balneological/Biological section (Quire 13), but the two sections are by different scribes (4 and 2 respectively), so in that case, the artists and scribes weren't the same. In other words, the evidence suggests to me that both scenarios are true - there are times when the scribe was also the artist of particular pages, but other sections where that isn't the case. I'm still working out the details, but that's how I currently see it.

Thank you so much, it was truly fascinating to read!

People find so many beautiful ways to cooperate. Artists can even cooperate on the same picture. Attached is a painting created through such collaboration. Gude focused on the landscape, while Tideman painted the boats and the figures. Gude, though brilliant with landscapes, was less skilled at painting people, so Tideman, a master of figure painting stepped in.

Best regards,
