Is anyone in this community actively engaged at the present time in trying to decode the VMS?

Many of us are, in some way. Even people like myself, who focus on the images, do so in the hopes that it may one day help in decoding the manuscript.

Most people here luckily understand as well that progress on this MS is made in small steps with an open mind, not by blindly taking giant leaps and tryimg to convince others that the seemingly random direction you chose is the right one.

Well, you're not even trying to convince us, you expect us to prove that you're jumping in the wrong direction while ignoring sensible objections.

Since we cannot read the VMS, there is virtually no way to line up the recipes with their publication. I'm gambling that the mini star on page 106r lines up with the only stanza with a title, resulting in a Rosetta Stone of the title line plus four subsequent verses, a total of five lines of the original Latin matched up with five red-dot passages. If that mini star does not mark a title, then really I have nothing.
