Re: VMs: Cylinders and the 9 rosettes

["Larry Roux" <lroux@xxxxxxx>]

One might want to try this with the astronomical and astrological
sections too.  Interesting idea.

Dear list,
Has anyone experimented with shiny cylinders on  the 9 rosettes?
The spiral text round the centre of no 3 (with the castle) caught my
eye.The centre is empty.
So, by lack of better equipment I placed the lipstick holder of my wife
in there and strange things occur, but this device is far from perfect
,,just like the prints so can't make much of it yet.
Putting the cylinder in the centre one(no 5),something nice happens with
the "mills", no 2,4 and 8.
They "hang" above the centre pourring whatever it is downwards, like
above the nymph with the cross on 79v. and others.
Maybe placing a much larger cylinder in no5,only leaving the outside
ring gives a better impression, but I haven't found anything proper to
use for that .
Another example of cylinder usage could be f86v4.The one with the moon
in the centre and the four men around as the "seasons".
The left man is looking at the left,the right one to the right,the
bottom one shows his front, the top one his back.
Placing a shiny cylinder in the centre ,goin' around, one is lookig at
the same person in the centre like walking around him,though the
armpositions alter...

For now, have to find proper cylinders or someone who tells me to check
the archives better before wasting time on something already done
before!

Cheers, Johannes.
