The only example of "nude nymphs" vaguely resembling those
in the VMS that has been found so far is the Byzantine 9th c.
image of the Zodiac. As Byzantine astrological images are
otherwise hard to find, I wonder if anyone has seen the following
book:

THE SCHEMATA OF THE STARS: Byzantine Astronomy from 1300 A.D.
by E A Paschos (University of Dortmund, Germany) & P Sotiroudis
(University of Thessaloniki, Greece) 
World Scientific Publishing Co. 
ISBN: 981-02-3489-9
1998 228pp
$44.00


Best regards,

Rafal
