VMs: Re: astro-nymphs?

[Rene Zandbergen <r_zandbergen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Rafal,

this picture is included in the very colourful
book: "Das Hermetische Museum: Alchemie und Mystik"
by Alexander Roob, which I have at home.
This paperback has hundreds of interesting
illustrations, but is extremely shallow in
terms of references and sources. It might just
give the name of the MS, if we're lucky.

Still, no Voynichologist could possibly browse
this book in a bookshop and then fail to buy it.

Cheers, Rene
