my suggestion about the author of MV

@Koen: You are definitely right, the text is in Latin and Dutch. This is also noted in the description of MS517.

As far as I know Agrippa von Nettesheim did not write in Dutch. So it's definitely no work by him. There remains only the possibility of a translation.
I found only one hint that in the 17th century a work was translated into Dutch. ( Joachim Oudaen ) [1]. One can not find references to previous translations, neither printed nor handwritten. Of course, that does not mean that there are none. Especially because of the location Cologne.
