If we keep in mind that you can date Medieval mss. with some confidencee only within let's say 50 years I would like to add two more datings:
In the 17r marginalia the script (and the style of the illustration?) look like (contemporary to) 116v
The quire markings look very much second half of the 15th c. and I think rather nearer middle of the c. and the foliation could be late, maybe even 17th c. (Prague)
And I think one could build a timeline in the development of the illustrations and the script, whicch would mean there is likely one person responsible for the ms. and we don't need a bunch of hands and scribes and illustrators.
