I'd be glad to have some responses to my post made clearer.
For example, Rene says:
"One of his slides was dedicated to a cross-check of C14 results, either between two labs or with independent evidence. This largely confirmed the validity of the estimated error margins."
So is that to be taken as meaning that you can't play fast-and-loose with a 1338/40 as end date.... or you can? (I seem to recall quite a number of people pushing for dates as late as 1470 or even 1500 for a while there).
Sorry to be dense JKP but I'm not sure what you mean by
"It isn't just costumes. The palette is very similar."
PS - If you want to learn about dating paintings and manuscripts by the pigments and their range employed in a given time and context, do let me know and I'll pass some book titles on to you. You might be able to find them in one of the larger libraries, but the best tend to be quite expensive.
Rene - "the argument about the palette of colours will be difficult to defend." - just f.y.i there's no need in English to say 'of colours' when speaking about the range of pigments used -i.e. palette.
I would also agree that while it seems as if some post 1440 works produced in Germany show evidence of contact of some sort or other to some of the matter in some sections of the Vms, it isn't close enough in terms of codicology, stylistics or pigments, drawing-style or cultural expression to be considered very closely akin, but Koen has brought up a couple of very interesting similarities, adding to those already observed in other 'Books of Marvels'.
Personally, I see no good reason to get involved with printed works. Most are too late to be relevant. But that's just IMO.
