[split] The Strange Thing on 116v

[-JKP-]

Morten St George:
I'm confused: Are you insinuating that the script on the last page of the VMS, in contrast to the drawings of animal and woman, was not made by the original author but was added at a later date?

It's not the same handwriting as the main text, so the text on the last page is probably marginalia.


Whether the person who wrote it knew the people who created the manuscript is a completely different question. The handwriting is consistent with script from the early 15th century (I have determined this through my own research after collecting thousands of samples), so it's possible whoever wrote it lived at approximately the same time as the manuscript was created.


As for the images, they look like they were drawn by the same person who drew the illustrations in the main text.
