Is the VMS homogeneous or a composite work?

[bi3mw]

There are no 'botanical' illustrations of plants, no cosmos, no portraits of the Planetes; there are no celestial or bathing nymphs

At least the seven planets according to Ptolemy are presented ("Von den 7 Planeten nach Ptolemäus"). About bathing there is also a chapter ("Vom Baden") if one really sees the nymphs as bathers.
The absence of the plant section is indeed a shortcoming that all Iatromathematical housebooks have in common. On this point, the comparison with the VMS does not fit. Here, "Cod. M II 180 " is the better comparison (see above).
