Hi Dana,

Indeed you have something of a face there, and it does not seem to match the pattern...

Speaking of facial features, the "S" nose/eyebrow drawing pattern appears to have been used as early as 1274 - one can find a good dated example of it in Robert Bartlett's excellent "Medieval Panorama" (ISBN: 0892366427) that is profuse in pictures of medieval manuscripts.

Hope everyone had a nice summer.

Luis

I find it rather curious that there is such a stricking face/head drawn in the upper middle petal of the right viola tricolor flower facing towards the left side of the page in f9v of the VMS. It does not seem characteristic of the drawing style seen in other facial features drawn in the VMS.
