Hello again everyone, thanks for responding to my thread.
I guess some people will argue about this idea i have, cos it's not consistent with the time when VM was parchment made.
I will share it here anyway
I noticed that many of the plants in the manuscript are primitive plants (a lot have spore capsules), and for example moss is pretty small plant to examine. The creator of VM would have to use some kind of magnifying glass. So, the drawings of objects (that people assume are apothecary cups) could maybe be early versions of microscopes. Any thoughts?
