I came here looking for any new discussion or analysis of the Vermont manuscript to see if anything new has come up. Most of all though i seem to have lost a note i made. What strikes me most about the similarity of the VMS and vermont herbal is that the herbal sections drawings seem to have been done first and the way the text was added around the drawings has some parallels.
The note i made was a reference i found to an influential teacher who taught students to draw in the field instead of just collecting specimens to draw later. If memory serves it was a university in italy, 14th or 15th century.
I just want to see if the teacher or any known students work has survived so i could see if that could be the way these herbal sections were composed. Thanks
