[split] f35v parallels "oak and ivy"

[Koen G]

Marco, I see the situation as follows.

• In the Leiden MS there's a loose vine on a host that does not look like oak.
  
• In the VM there's a loose vine on a host that looks like oak.
  
• In the Tractatus de herbis there's clinging ivy on a host that looks like oak.
  

In other words, the VM has the style of winding in common with the Leiden MS, but the host with the Tractatus. The evidence does not allow to put the VM in a line of direct dependence on the Arabic tradition, but the same holds true for the Tractatus. I think all three are different end points on the same branch of their family tree.
