I would be happy to put captions on any that have no captions shown. Or any that do, for that matter, but it will be an interpretive caption and not a translation.

I couldn't seem to find it again but one of the drawings showed two people and a fortification. Both people (perhaps women?) had what appeared to be flaming fingers on one hand, held so fingers were pointed up. What's the story behind that one?

John,

May I ask you to identify the exact link to that illustration?

I will be happy then to you give you my interpretation.

Sorry, John,
I must quit on that.
I'm sure though that Swordfish can decipher that.
Best,
Michael
