Superseded page

See https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/06/golden-munich-psalter-mushroom-trees/ instead.

The present page is superseded, because it copied Hatsis’ error into the URL, which here says “gold”, but should be “golden”.

There are many views. I downloaded the PDF but it is blurry copy not the full-res orig; go ahead and DL, but realize that.

Lower Panel (1 ct.)

[9:40 p.m. Feb. 3, 2023] – hardly worth pointing out, but anyway:
lifted garment on right, has John Rush noted that?

there’s probably like 65 of them in the Golden Munich Psalter.

Might as well try easy zoom url: … the upper panel one is much better, but proves it’s the same deliberate … technique i id’d called, “subtle motif noting”.

I wrote before, a year ago.

Once you estab ur motif then for fun u do it ultra subtle: msh hems especially.

dont need full-fledged.

An example I wrote about: liberty-cap caps in Eadwine’s Psalter – if you have a super blurry one and a sharp one, provided by the artist, the hint-blurry one is to be considered as an instance defined by the crisp one.

Don’t need detail, except for 1 time only.

Hatsis’ Info About the Jasher Image

Hatsis’ page title:
The Mushroom in Mommy Fortuna’s Midnight Carnival
Section heading:
Mushrooms and Halos
https://psychedelichistorian.com/the-mushroom-in-mommy-fortunas-midnight-carnival/ –
https://psychedelicwitch.com/the-mushroom-in-mommy-fortunas-midnight-carnival/ –

“We see, also from the Munich Psalter, the same mushroom trees that supposedly gave Jacob his vision.

“The meaning of this picture (Figure 11) was difficult to track down, as this is not a Psalm scene, despite its appearance in a psalter.

“It is a scene from the apocryphal text The Book of Jasher, a work that was apparently excised, as it does not appear in the Bible (though this text is referenced several times therein)19.

19: Genesis 4: 23 and 5: 25, though it might be referring to two different Lamechs, this one comes from Gen 4.

In this elapsed story, we are given a follow-up of what happened to Cain after killing his brother, Abel.

Lamech, Cain’s great grandson in this story, went hunting one day with his son, Tubal Cain.

“Blinded by old age (though it would seem that Tubal Cain’s vision wasn’t too good either), Lamech accidentally shot Cain with an arrow20.”

20: Mordecai Manuel Noah (trans.) The Book of Jasher: Referred to in Joshua and Second Samuel (NY: M . M. Noah and A. S. Gould, 1840) pg. 5.

Keep Hatsis’ research facts here, I put his argumentation elsewhere – I moved that to Idea Development page 17 and to the Explain Away o Matic page.

☺️ 🎉 😊

Motifs:

  • Lifted garment, and John Rush mushroom hems.

I remember my picky quibbles:

  • these mushroom trees don’t have as many instances of the important {cut branches} motif.
  • no {handedness} motif?

todo: redo hi res:

Top panel:

  • 2 Youths in Branching Mushroom Tree
  • Christ on Donkey Lifting Left Leg
  • Standing on Cloak
  • Holding Removed Branches
  • Mushroom Hems
  • Right leg standing in tree on cut branch
  • Peter holds the key to kingdom
  • It’s heretical to me to have bearded John/MaryM.  Easy mushroom hems tablecloth.
  • Great Entry into Jerusalem with many of the motifs.  
  • Holding out a {removed branch} – not a branching feather – in tree.  
  • {standing on right foot} on a {cut branch} – even though {cut branch} & {handedness} is a rare motif in this psalter.

SCORE! Add to list of such images.

Bottom panel:

  • Last Supper
  • Mushroom Hems
  • Bearded John-MaryM? highly nonstandard.
  • Rat-demon entering into Judas’ mouth.
  • Compare St. Martin chapel’s version from Browns.
  • Right hand of Jesus: non-branching fingers gesture as I read it.
  • So many mushroom hems in this psalter, hardly warrants mention.
