hi,

i am interested in the origin of the Seven Heavenly Virtues graphic MASTER of the Dominican Effigies, "The Garden of the Virtues". i cannot find its' origin. i found a very similar illumination in the La Somme le Roi. The Garden of the virtues with seven virgins watering the trees and a hunting scene below, from La Somme le Roi, France (Paris), c. 1295 here https://blogs.bl.uk/digitisedmanuscripts/2015/07/influential-illumination-british-library-loans-to-lens.html

but you see they are different.

if you know where to find any information on the origin of the version on the seven heavenly virtues page please let me know. thank you scott becker scottshealthnews@gmail.com
