I will try to summarize the book. But I need a couple of days.

Oh, that would be fine.
A greater progress it would be to determine, how much figures they might have used to present in the illustrated text. Something like 36 or 38 I've heard, but I've no guarantee.

The article has gained some interest, as there had been some similarities observed in the Lorenzo Spirito article.

a) Thanks, friend.

b) The process we can follow is this. First I summarize and translate "my way" into English. Then, I do a summary of the highlights (Diana, the banquet ...) and looking for someone to help me translate into English well.

But I need time (only sleep 4 hours ... lol ... The tarot will kill me :) .

c) Now i draw the scenary...

... :-) ... wonderful, it's nice, that somebody takes this object serious.

I just studied Francesco di Giorgio, cause he is said to have taken (possibly) artistic influence on this festivity (probably as a supervising engineer, as he was also architect), and I did meet this book painting from him (he painted in a lot of different styles):



... with this nice chastity (from 1463)



Wonderfull, your picture ... Well, this looks like 32 pages with some more paintings

Mass The nuptial mass, which was celebrated on Sunday 28th May in the Sala Grande.
Part III
Sunday

The husbands go to the Great Hall (Sala Grande), accompanied by ambassadors and other distinguished persons.

They get a sermon Collenuco Pandolph (lasting one hour).

Archbishop of Terni, envoy of Pope. blesses them.

11. am.
They go to the episcopate (the Church).

The spouses are under a baldacchino of gold and silk fabrics.

Those carrying the baldacchino are four youngs, 14 year olds: Piero Gentile da Camerino, Carlo Sforza, Ercole Sforza and Ercole Bentivoglio.

They are married by Bishop of Terni.

They return to court and come to rest.

At 15.hours start a banquet in the Great Hall.

Sala Grande Description:

On the sides are put bleachers for spectators (the least important). The tables, I understand, the guests are put in the form of U. Spouses preside over the banquet.

The walls are decorated with fabric "way of heaven." These curtains are decorated with stars and constellations of the Zodiac most important. (The decor seems to be made by small mirrors and windows: more than 2,500).

At the bottom of the wall panels are decorated with trees and emblems of the Sforza.

From the roof, through a mechanism that allows up and down, hang up the sun and moon. The sun of gold, the silver moon.

Re: Project: Festival book 1475

Earlier I analyzed this row ...

1. Hymeneus
2. Vivande de Venere - Erato
3. Vivande de Iove - Perseo
4. Vivande de Juno - Iris
5. Vivande de Apollo - Orpheo
6. Vivande de Pallas - Hebe
7. Vivande de Vesta - Tatia (daughter of Tatius, king of the Sabines)
8. Vivande de Neptuno - Triton
9. Vivande de Diana - (missing page 36)
10. Vivande de Marte - Romulo
11. Vivande de Ceres - Arethusa
12. Vivande de Bacho - Syleno

... at the picture (32 pages) I recognize the muse Erato as picture Nr. 5 and Hymneus as Nr. 8 (from left to right, from top to bottom), so they are NOT in the row, as one might expect, cause then Erato would appear after Hymneus.

...

your English isn't that bad.

Well, the part of the banquet is complicated. It is full of meaning and detail to be analyzed carefully. Try to make a diagram:

The banquet is hosted by the Sun and the Moon. The Sun heads the first half and the moon presides over the second half.

Each round of dishes (and there are many), is given by a god. When leaving a god, is preceded by a herald (a messenger, a servant). The Herald carries a banner, which is picked up by two young beautiful: Castor and Pollux.

The sequence is:
a) Appear (entry) the god and his messenger (his servant).
c) Handing over the banner.
d) recites a poem.
e) the dishes are served food that God sends. ( “cioe”).

Everytime a god, he "passed on" to the newlyweds their influences. For example, Juno gives wealth. That is, there are three concepts in each round: the god, the servant and the message passed by the poem and the concept protected by the god. And there are three iconographic elements: the appearance of the God, the appearance of the messenger, and the appearance of the emblem. Ok?

Part One - The Gods of the Sun

(Presentation of the Sun:

Before the banquet started, the roof fell a shower of gold and the sun descends
The "Sun" recites a poem, which blesses the couple. He says that nothing will separate and Fortune and Virtue will always be together until death.

Fortuna cum virtues will congiunta)

(This page is missing from the version of special-1.bl.uk. But I wanted another:

Bueno, la parte del banquete es complicada. Está llena de significados y de detalles que hay que analizar con cuidado. Trataré de hacer un esquema:
El banquete está ofrecido por el Sol y la Luna. El Sol preside la primera parte, y la Luna preside la segunda parte.
Cada ronda de platos (y hay muchas), está ofrecida por un dios. Cuando sale un dios, va precedido de un heraldo (un mensajero, un sirviente). Este heraldo lleva un estandarte, que es recogido por dos jóvenes hermosos: Castor y Pollux. La secuencia es:
a) Sale el dios y su mensajero (su criado).
c) Entrega el estandarte.
d) Recita un poema.
e) Se sirven los platos de comida que envía el dios. (“cioe”).
Cada vez que sale un dios, le “transmite” a los recién casados sus influjos. Por ejemplo, Juno les da riqueza. Es decir, hay tres conceptos en cada ronda: el dios, el criado y el mensaje que se transmite por el poema y el concepto que tutela el dios. Y hay tres elementos iconográficos: la apariencia del dios, la apariencia del criado, el emblema. Ok?
Primera parte – Los dioses del Sol
(Presentación del Sol:
Antes de empezar el banquete, del techo cae una lluvia de oro y desciende el Sol.
El “Sol” recita un poema, en el que bendice a los esposos. Dice que nada les podrá separar y que Fortuna y Virtud irán siempre juntos hasta la muerte.
Fortuna cum virtu será congiunta)
Primer dios del Sol: Hymeneo
No lleva criado (es la primera excepción)
Idea (bendición): dulzura, placer, deleite
Segundo dios del Sol: Venus
Criado: Erato
Idea: Amor casto
Tercer dios del Sol: Júpiter
Criado: Perseo
Idea: buena suerte, dios de los maridos.
Cuarto dios del Sol: Juno
Criado: Iris
Idea: riqueza, diosa de las esposas,
Quinto dios del Sol: Apolo
Criado: Orfeo
Idea: poder generador
Sexto dios del Sol: Pallas
Criado: Hebe
Idea: sabiduría, destreza de la mujer, paz, prudencia
Dioses de la Luna
Primer dios de la Luna: Vesta
Criado: Tatia
Idea: Honestidad, pudor, el calor que conserva la vida.
Segundo dios de la Luna: Neptuno
Criado: Tritón
Idea: Generación, fama
Tercer dios de la Luna: Diana
Criado: Licaste
(Esta página falta en la versión de special-1.bl.uk. Pero he buscado otra:
http://books.google.es/books?id=BE1KAAA ... q=&f=false
No es una mala versión, aunque se salta algunos detalles (las voy comparando))
Cuarto dios de la Luna: Marte
Criado: Romulo
Idea: fortaleza, victorias, triunfos
Quinto dios de la Luna: Ceres
Criado: Arethusa
Ideas: placer, fertilidad
Sexto dios de la Luna: Baco
Ideas: alegría.
Séptimo dios de la Luna: Influjo de Fortuna
Sin criado
Ideas: Riqueza.
