Subject: Sagittarius, was: VMs:
Costamagna and abbreviation...
There are crossbows relating to Sagittarius
in a ME (or late
modern) MS which was once owned
by Queen Christina of Sweden. There is a
link to
a picture at:
http://www.voynich.nu/extras.html
(click on 'Leo' near the bottom of the page).
I think there was
also one identified in a
German 'Blockbuch' (Rafal may
remember).
