I decided to go ahead and give it a try, even though I could be making silly mistakes (e.g. comparing things that shouldn't be compared) -- but the only way to get better at this is to practice. So here's my try:
First -- two "mich" (I hope)
Okay -- this looks nothing alike. I don't think he wrote the 116v marginalia.
Next, trying to compare letters that have glyphs that are similar.
Here are some letters that share shapes with glyphs (I hope):

OK - nope, not similar. Even my inexperienced eye can draw that conclusion.
Well, it was worth a try. I still think it is useful to poke around Johannes Hartlieb's life for other possibilities (maybe Johann Hartlieb von Moeglingen, the father, as suggested by Aga Tentakulus). I wonder how many siblings were in THAT family? Maybe my "family project" scenario can still have legs . . .
On that topic, evidently there's a couple of amateur genealogists in Moeglingen who have traced the 13,469* relatives to Johann Hartlieb still living in that area of Germany -- I bet THEY know how many brothers and sisters Johanne Hartlieb had. LOL

Oh well, thanks again to everyone for your help.
