Quote:Morten: With you guys endlessly disparaging the VMS on goat's liver

In the Middle Ages, goat's liver (and other kinds of liver) were commonly eaten and used in medicinal recipes.


It definitely does not say "liber". The way it is written is an "e". It was a common way to write "e". I have never ever seen "i" written that way in a medieval manuscript.

The last letter can be disputed since it is partly rubbed and indistinct. It might be leber or leben.


Why would goat's liver be disparaging? It was very common for healing incantations and medicinal recipes to be added to the beginnings and ends of manuscripts. Very common. It might not be a medicinal recipe, but even if it isn't, there's nothing disparaging about it if it is goat's liver.
