The VMS is unique in so many ways that one could say it should not exist, but it does. What are the odds of a ms showing a naked woman standing on a fish-tailed cone with a "dead pangolin" pouring rain above her head? What are the odds of a zodiac with 2 Arietes and 2 Tauri and a single occurrence of the other signs? What are the odds of a highly complex diagram with 6 jars at its center, where one expects a symbol of the earth, god, Jerusalem or Mecca? What are the odds of the common word-final symbol 9 being systematically followed by words beginning with the Arabic numeral 4?
