From a You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. quoted by David Jackson, we know that also cat brains were playing a role in medicine (toxicology) in the middle ages... It puts the discussion about he unlikelihood of goat liver in a different perspective.
In my last post I noted that a copy of the Sworn Book of Honorius (our guide to decoding the VMS) was inscribed with "Sum Ben: Jonsonij liber".
That should erase all doubt that "liber" rather than "leber" was the intention because, in MSG Theory, the person named in that inscription became a close personal friend of the author of the VMS marginalia.
