> *cool* Are any of these images online anywhere?
In my quick (~15 minutes) on-line search I didn't find anything. But I'm not
very familiar with the on-line manuscript archives... My search was limited to
goggling various terms. Sorry! I would've liked to have given links in my
earlier e-mail rather then referring to page numbers in a fairly obscure book
(at least obscure to us English speakers :-) )

It doesn't help that Boccaccio wrote in Italian, so I was attempting to come up
with the English versions based on the translation from Italian into French and
then trying to come up with the correct English term based on the French...
Game of telephone, anyone? :-)
The full attribution in the back of the book for the Boccaccio manuscript was:
Paris, Bibliotheque nationale, ms. Fr. 598, Bocacce, Des cleres et nobles
femmes, Paris, vers 1403, fol. 6v.
The different pictures I referenced have different numbers for the Fr. 598
number, and different folio versions listed, though all have the 1403 date.

P.S. for those of you seriously into the "high middle ages", about half the
pictures in _Parades et Parures_ were not ones I recognized. I've felt the book
was well worth purchasing despite my inability to actually _read_ it :-). I got
mine from amazon.fr
