Through his development Bosch was fully aware of his game of confusions, and perhaps he intended to confuse and unsettle the viewer.
The result of this process is not only the realization that something is amiss in the painting, but also that the viewer must question their own position in this world

A long point of a hood was called in English a liripipe. But here it’s something different. A short cape has a very long tail:
He’s certainly a demon! 😈

After years then, I finally found a cassettedeck that was able to magnetically fade in and fade out songs (to kill the talk of the radio deejay)…
Other cassetteplayers were able to detect empty spaces, so you could fast wind to the next song!

A fire on any top is suspect.
It is related to diabolism, it’s infernal fire 🔥.

A KICK-CHAIR is a punishment instrument.
Aka strappado, corda,”reverse hanging", "Palestinian hanging", and il tormento della corda (Italian: 'the torment of the rope').

In Dutch: wipgalg, palei, schopstoel of schupstoel,FIRST ILL.
Bosch painted a “schubstoel” (wordplay) on the triptych,SECOND ILL.

The fire 🔥 pile & hanged person on top of a tower in Devil 😈 Queen’s city fit in with the demons’ attacks on Anthony:
they are to instill fear.

This confirms me in my idea dat the other tower has not a well but a kick-chair.

(Part of the Anthony triptych- Hieronymus Bosch ~1500.
At MNAA, Lisbon.)

It’s an owl.
On the copy panel it’s clearer.

Ik dacht eerst dat ze uit de USA kwamen, die lijken er ook op.

“In de jaren zestig ontsnapten zo’n 250 van deze eekhoorns tijdens een verhuizing van het voormalige Burgers Dierenpark in Tilburg. Sindsdien leven ze ook in onze contreien.”

The Fall of Mankind in the Garden in Eden is not depicted on the first panel of the Garden of Earthly Delights.
But in this detail of the center panel, Bosch clearly makes a parody on it!

The Master always writes
Jheronimus bosch
(bosch with a small letter!).

Such conversions were not extremely rare. And falling back happened also more often.

Bax mentions another group of three, who came with the Spanish fleet. In Veere, in Zeeland.

Found it in Bax 1956 p.175; translated:

There is a whole story on 1 ‘converted’ jew in Bosch’ city.
The principal of the land was even there at the moment. Bosch’s fraternity was involved, the person must have become a member. I must check for details, another time.
As I remember, he later went back to his Jewish religion…

Yes.
Here it refers to Roma.

Netherlandish sayings-
now by Hieronymus Bosch…

*Clean white pig =people acting like they became Christian but not really are (Similar: Dog w.vomit)
*De Bruyn: “Frying the herring for the roe” =fraud & greed.
I suggest; “The herring hangs from its own gill”
=One is often cause of one’s own fortune.
