Assumptions baked into the VMS carbon dating

[Bernd]

Considering how the VM artist apparently re-interpreted the source imagery he copied, I think it's a pretty good match. The best other match for Taccola's star-sun I found is from Leonardo Dati's La Sfera, BNCF, Fondo Nazionale II.II.62, (1471-1500). There are precursors to the Star-Sun dating back to Giovanni Paolo's Paradiso, Yates Thompson MS 36, (after 1444), and probably the Limbourg Brothers Très Riches Heures, (1412-1416), but as with other Taccola-related imagery, Taccola himself appears to be the closest match for the VM.
