I have a lot of trouble trying to read the items, but there are the listings for BNF 565 and BNF 1082 marked in the second inventory with a few other texts on astronomy. Mostly bibles and psalters etc., however. There are manuscripts to "Nostre Dame", so Mariology is present.
There are several representative texts of Ovid's Metamorphoses, which could be the source for the myth of Philomela. There are several books of Christine de Pizan. There is even a listing for a dictionary of some kind. [Second inventory, p. 245; #127]
So, there are several things in the VMs that can be given a plausible and relevant interpretation, if one is familiar with the books that were in the Berry library. If the VMs has been seen as a text with no connections to a known reality, then the potential for multiple connections to a single source should be further investigated.
