Nick,

It is true that the case for a Christian cross on the hand of the nymph 
in the balneological section is at best weak. However, I had more in 
mind the one atop the crown in f 72v1 that Glen pointed out.

Depiciting an ecclesiastic/royal authority symbol (a crown) with a 
cross may not have been unthinkable for a Jewish artist, but it seems 
unusual to me. In any event, I guess this becomes yet another small 
proof our artist gives us about his philosophical depth - or perhaps 
his evident madness?

Couldn't agree more with you about the multiplicity of sources for the 
Herbal section. I think Dana and Philip agree there, too.

Glen, I look forward to learn about any progress you make on that 
Tricesimum research - sounds promising.

Luis
