Re: VMs: Fish



I don't see a fish...but that's just me.
 
Speaking of f17r - the added script at the top (that matches the end-piece "michiton oladabos" script - could the first words be "malheu allou l'un ho? wi?hon"  (Misfortune grant one ??? ???) (with????)
 
I know some people have better/enhanced scans.  Any comments?

We have seen that there is what appears to be a fish with distinctive eyes
in the root system of the f17r herbal drawing. I suspect that the eye shadow
was added later by someone other than the original scribe of the VMS. With a
little imagination there may also be a hint of a fish framed by the herbal
stems/branching in f65v when turned sideways with the head pointing
downwards towards the roots. This may very well be just a coincidence, but
then again who knows. Perhaps someday we will be able to sort out these
subtleties.
