I've mentioned this before, but I am pretty confident that the marginalia on 116v and on 17r are written by the same hand, and possibly also the ven mus mel.
I have a blog in draft form about this topic, I just have to add the images (which always takes longer than I expect it to). I'll try to do that this evening after work and get it posted.
Haha! Yes, I completely agree. With diligent effort, it's possible to find handwriting similar to the VMS marginalia, but finding similar writing that also has the same figure-8 character (a symmetric one rather than the more common asymmetric style), a flat-bottomed "b" (note that it is not round), an "i" with a long leading-serif, and the same "g" (with an s-curve tail, and a lowered, separately added serif on the right) is a real challenge!
