Expert opinions about the VMS

[ReneZ]

This month, an impressive volume about astronomical illustrations throughout the ages appeared.
It is vol.2 of "Sternbilder des Mittelalters" (Constellations of the middle ages, the painted skies, between
science and phantasy). Vol.1 covering the years 800-1200 already appeared in 2012. Vol.2 covers
1200-1500. It can be partially browsed You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. . It has a comprehensive overview, of (as far as
I can judge) all known illustrated MSs related to the constellations.
Anyone able to read German will note that all the questions related to transmission of these illustrations
that are being asked in this formum, are discussed in detail.

I asked the author about the illustrations in the Voynich MS.
He specifically and strongly confirmed the opinion already stated by Dr. Stolot, and sees the style of Germany
of the second half of the 15th Century.
