[edit] Interpretation of the fragments

I think the article is looking pretty good so far. I appreciate all the effort Descartes has put into the formatting, references and footnoting. I have done a change to the section on JSP I to reflect the fact that it was Baer who speculated that the completed image would represent a conception/ressurection scene. The damage to the fragment makes any assertion concerning the content speculative. I do note that other examples of this type of image exist - as illustrated in Budge's book. I'd be pleased to insert that in a section discussing comparisons with other BOD vignetes, if someone can tutor me on the process of inserting images. DWmFrancis (talk) 14:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
