A SOMEWHAT IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
#1
So while we wait for Prof. Stolfi's important announcement, I thought I'd stir the waters a bit with this INCREDIBLY EXCITING theory of my own. So here we have the manuscript BSB Cgm 250, based on a classic Weltkronik from Jans Enkel. This particular MS was copied in southern Germany in the 1st quarter of the 15th century. It's "interesting" because of some matches to the VMS marginalia. The handwriting appears at first glance to be reminiscent of folio f116v:

   

But wait, there's more:

   

This looks like the classic "michiton", except for the missing "i". 

There is also a match to some handwriting of folio f17r:

   

And many more "amazing" coincidences appear in this manuscript in relation to the VMS.

Here is a link to the MS:

A beautiful MS indeed with many drawings, that remind one of the Biblia Pauperum style that lies so close to the VMS.

Anyway, a small "divertissement" while we wait for a more important announcement.
