Well, very cool. Real needle-in-a-haystack stuff to find the right image from that truncated reference out of Houston. I am pleased it turned out to be one of the two candidates I turned up, and the one I thought was stylistically promising, but my patience in looking for examples of plates from those mss was exhausted much earlier ;-) Note that's not just "Nero" in the BL cataloguing system, but actually "Cotton Nero." The Cotton collection has loads of sub-collections with different names. There's a superscript on the folio number 103 that (based on the elusive note 7 I found on another page on this website) is an r, meaning fol. 103 recto, the front of the page. If anyone is really hot for this image, you can probably purchase a slide of the image from the BM. You will need all the above information to specify what you want. Can't tell on my monitor if the seams match Houston's, but from the position, it's certainly the figure she intended. Which secondary source she drew her copy from is anyone's guess. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
