More Modelbuch (10/16/2018)

I’m up to my eyebrows in the various series of roundels found in modelbucher, published individually, and even redrawn in the Trevalyon Miscellany as part of a project, so I’ll just share a set of 12 sibylls colored on trenchers held at the Fitzwilliam. (And yes, 12 Sibyls- they added a few pagan seers in the Renaissance to make Christian imagery work. . .)
