On the other hand, for reasons we discussed before, I think we should be less certain about the emperor's owning the MS than we are now. The evidence relies purely on one witness. If someone says that this witness 'Dominus Marcus has lost his memory of nearly everything but still remembers you' then that is something to take into consideration.

There's also the name of Jacobi a Tepenecz erased from the first page and it appears to be in his hand. Since "a Tepenecz" is a name granted by the Emperor, it's not one that anyone could have. Jacobi was Rudolph II's herbalist/botanist. This strengthens the possibility that it was at one point in Rudolph's court.
