	Yup.  One might think that Toresella's 
alchemical herbals would be an exception.  However, the
text was plain 
in those.

	Hmmm...  I just read "Holy Blood, Holy Grail".  I've
always thought we
need a good Knights Templar theory.  Did Mary and
Martha escape to the south of France (Gaul) 
with the Magdalen and her and Jesus' children?   Then
the nymphs would be Mary Magdalen.  
The herbal drawings could be symbolic of the offspring
of the House of David.  But as Jews
they definitely would not have drawn the astrological
diagrams...  And the date and script 
would be way off, putting it mildly.  'Fraid not.
