Glancing through my files (I had to do this quickly because I'm working now), I noticed that this manuscript has an exact date:
Sarnen Benediktinerkollegium BKS Cod. membr. 8. 7 September 1427
It has quite a few clothing matches to the VMS, plus Speculum Humanae is pretty high on my list of "topics of interest" when it comes to subject matter.
But what's interesting is that even though it was presumably created in Switzerland, the scribe was probably from Austria, and there are at least two different illustrators. Since scribes and illustrators often traveled, we don't know where the illustrators are from unless their style can be expressly identified (which is sometimes possible, but not always).
Okay... time to work. Gotta go. Have fun all.
