I believe that the Beinecke 35mm microfilm spool referred to by Brett
Cotton is a photographic version of the copyflo document of the VMS. While
the detail seems to be a bit better in certain cases than the hardcopy printout,
it is probably not as detailed as desired. There are also no colored images as I
recall.

Subject: VMs: Sagittarius / crossbow
update...
Hi everyone,
I've just received an extremely detailed
analysis (in German) from Jens
Sensfelder on the VMs' f73v Sagittarius
crossbowman, as per this 948x1400
jpeg on the Beinecke's website:-
http://130.132.81.124/PHOTONEGIMG/zoom/Z361/z3610569.jpg
Once
I've clarified a couple of (publication-related) issues with him, I'll
need help translating his four pages of text (plus six pages of
crossbow-related images!) - any volunteers? :-)
Jens has also
expressed an interest in publishing a short article on this
in (for
example) the journal "Zeitschrift fur Historische Waffen und
Kostumkunde".
However, he also asks if there are any higher resolution
images of f73v
available (i.e. suitable for journal publication).
Does anyone have a
higher resolution scan of f73v (or even just of the
crossbowman in the
middle) than the "8x" scan above? The Beinecke will take
orders for higher
resolution uncompressed TIFFs (typically with double the
x- and y-
resolutions of the above-linked image) on a CD, but these can
take a fair
while to arrive internationally. :-o
BTW, if Brett Cotton is reading...
did anyone take you up on your offer to
scan your 35mm microfilm spool?
Does it say how many images are on the
spool? Scanning this might be a
sensible option to take up now... :-)
Cheers, ....Nick
Pelling.....
PS: my German is far too poor to be confident about
summarising Jens'
findings accurately!
:-(
