	To Barbara.  What do you think of the idea that the
VMs might be "outsider art"?   

	That might not be saying a lot.  I haven't seen that
"outsider art" is that different from "mainstream art",
except that it's even more idiosyncratic.

	Such an artist might be more likely to borrow archaic
source material, e.g. using gallows embellishments
[little used by 1450, although I'm sure I've seen an
example from 1340] and T-O maps during the
Renaissance.
