Morten St George Theory

[Morten St. George]

Koen has written about the fashions. I suggest you read his blog.

I see that Koen displays image similarities between the VMS and a 1418 publication, and I concur that those similarities are unlikely to be purely coincidental. However, I do not view this as a "smoking gun" affirming the 15th century creation of VMS images because both the VMS and the 1418 publication could have had a common thirty-party source.

In my prior posts, I postulated that the VMS encryption was created in Toledo during the 13th century. Thus, the number one place to search for a precedent of the VMS zodiac symbols would be the dozens of astrology books (mainly translations from Arabic) published in Toledo during the 13th century.

This here is an image from the VMS alongside an image from one of the Toledo manuscripts:



Notice the double-lined necklines, long-sleeve shirts ending just before the wrist and, above all, flat top hats with a bulge in the middle. Off-hand, I'd say the VMS is depicting standard Spanish clothing of the 13th century, not the 15th century.
