Just to soothe the frustration JKP, you did convince me 
There is a strange thing going on in the VM, where both text and image are taken from the familiar, even used in a familiar way, but still given a twist.
The script feels Latin and it's ridiculously easy to read for our eyes, more so even than "real" 15th century Latin script. We can read it, without understanding a single word.
It's just the same for the images. Take the four-person diagram with the back-facing figures for example. We can see the one holding the gold coin or royal orb. We can see the one falling down, just like on the wheel of fortune. But the diagram has been mutated, their order changed.
In both the script and the images, the building blocks are familiar and can be found in other sources. But they have been put together in a novel way. Sometimes I think it was more like an intellectual game.
