The most attrative thing about the VMS is that it forces us to think about the human spirit and its history, our history. It's a philosophical problem of the first order. I remember when I was young and read 'Les mots et les choses' by Michel Foucault, and his concept of epistemological periods of history, the diachronic knowledge models, like Khun's scientific paradigms.
My main concern is understand the mentality which made the VMS possible, something that is very difficult for all of us. JKP summed up the problem of my theory: is it possible to fill up more than 200 pages with astronomical coordinates? Well that's what I think based on what I see. I suppose that such a code was very important for people mentality of the XV century.
There are no experts outside this forum. The director of the Medieval Academy of America cited by Marco has given up thinking. I still have doubts and I'll have them until most of the forum is according to my theory.
