aStobbart, I actually think this is a good question. We know some of the social groups through which the VMS has passed.
I compared it to Marci's writing (Marci's scribe's writing) but it doesn't match. I tried John Dee. Doesn't match.
I've been gradually working my way though the various possibilities as I am able to find samples.
We don't know who had the VMS between the early 15th century and people in Rudolph's court. Timewise, it was probably one of them. The percentage of literate people was small, and many of them were professionals, so there is a possibility the person can be found.
