Storehouses of parchment

[ReneZ]

I think there may (sometimes) have been a lag of a decade or so between what we see in manuscripts and what was actually worn.

I don't pretend to know, but as long as we are comparing manuscripts with manuscripts, this makes no difference.

We just see how the garments have been drawn in manuscripts and paintings, and specialists have been able to conclude that these fashions did not last for a long time.

The Voynich MS can be placed in a certain time frame by comparison with other dated manuscripts.
