Was the VMS mastermind a university graduate?

[Helmut Winkler]

I have no evidence in the strictest sense, if ever, we will not have it before we are able to read the ms., but the visible content, astronomical and medical, point to an university education, at least an M.A.  on the way to a doctorate,  I find it difficult  to see another possibility.

Another point are some peculiarities of the writing sytem which point in my opinion  directly to the university system, especially the abbr. system, that the man could write fluently is annother point
