Morten St George Theory

[Morten St. George]

Without going into the counting side of things....

I read this as saying Nostradamus, native of Salon. 

Yeah, that's sort is how surnames worked in those days, especially for the English.

On counting, I believe I said, or should have said, that there were 161 passages or recipes that are marked with stars having some red coloring. That has not changed. The miniature red-star does not delineate a passage or recipe; it merely attaches itself to another red star that does that. Another red star is up at the top of the page and serves only to indicate a continuation of red star text. It does not itself delineate a new passage or recipe. I continue to maintain that the number 161 is correct for red star passages.

I am starting to lose interest in this forum. There is nothing that can done with people who are not rational. There is zero chance that the VMS was made by monks in northern Italy. On what page do you find a drawing of a monk? On what page do you find an illustration on religious themes or of the elegance of illustrations known to have been by medieval monks? You can see them on Google Images. Do a search for "medieval manuscripts." Do you see anything there that looks like what we see in the VMS?

I forgot to mention that a translation of a large portion of the 161 recipes, in both French and English, can be found on my web page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.  Think of it what you will.
