ISTM that the best way to draw lurkers out is to post something interesting 
and provocative, yet curiously tangential and/or connected with Tolkien in 
some way. :-)  Let me see if I can construct an example... OK, here goes...

        When I visited him, Sergio Toresella mentioned that the "baby dragon"
        (on f25v) reminded him of a similar one he'd seen in a herbal in 
Paris.
        Has anyone examined the European history of representations of
        dragons, to see if this little dragon falls into a known tradition?

From your post, you already have a perfectly good idea of the convivial 
dissensus we have here. :-)

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
