And if anyone else would care to be more precise, I propose that the composition of the VMs has an increasingly closer association with a person or persons associated with the Duchy of Burgundy, during the decades leading up to, and then specifically after c. 1435. And more specifically to Dijon which was the primary residence of the dukes until the 1440s, when the primary residence was moved to Brussels.
The information contained in the VMs reveals a high level of education and a potential familiarity with certain historical manuscripts or lost replicas.
First, the Oresme cosmos after circa 1410, starting in the Duke of Berry's Library, and hiding out for a while.
Second the de Metz connections to the cosmos and the pond scene, dated to the second quarter of the 1400s
Their common origins in Paris implies not only a possible common readership, but also a potentially common creator.
Third is the Library of Philip the Good, some time after1430.
The VMs makes use of specific details that reveal a thorough knowledge of heraldic traditions. And tied in with armorial and ecclesiastical heraldry, it reveals an intentionally disguised reference to religious history and tradition. Does the reader recognize the Genoese Gambit as an intentional construction on VMs White Aries? And this is a prime example of how VMs deception operates. It uses the alternate path of interpretation. It uses a hidden gate. The primary path of interpretation leads the investigator astray. The alternate, disguised interpretation leads to a hidden path of information that is validated by tradition relevant to this time and place.
And another potential religious reference, related to La Sainte Hostie de Dijon, connects with events of the early 1430s in that city.
This hypothesis is the summation from the discoveries of some half-dozen different investigators and their research. Each line has contained some elements connected to the Duchy of Burgundy. I am suggesting that they could all fit together.
