A case for Gibberish

[aStobbart]

Well, we don't really know for sure if Rudolf was the first to pay for the VMs

The point is that the MS was created unbound and partly unpainted

Yes, I agree, that means we can't be sure about the order of the folios, nor the amount of folios missing, or the overall presentation (was the Vms supposed to be a part of several volumes? Or maybe each folio should be treated as a single "unit" )

and this kind of product is not really one that's prepared for sale.

Maybe it was a draft for an original that was lost or never written. This is ofc not an idea of my own, others have pointed it out before. This topic only creates more questions

BTW, we're not sure that Rudolf ever paid for it.

Is there a scenario were the VMs ends in Rudolf's possesion with no money transaction involved? I'd like to hear about it
