Quote:Hello Beatrice,
I would be very surprised if any paleographer ever gave credence to this piece of nonsense.
The source is on page 9 of An Elegant Enigma, by Mary D'Imperio, quoting Jeffrey Krischer:
"The date of the manuscript was again placed in the sixteenth century by Mr Rodney Dennis (curator of manuscripts in Houghton Library of the Harvard College library). Mr Dennis identified the script to be in the style of the sixteenth century humanist script."
So do you really think it is a piece of nonsense? If so, how would you explain the hammering-like pattern behind?
