Context is certainly a significant requirement. Context in language would be great, if it could be discovered, but those who think they've translated the vords have not found much support. Pelling's paradigm is just too cumbersome to function. Has there been a single candidate - in how many years now?
Context is found in the illustrations. The Vms is composite in its topics, therefore composite in its sources. Judging from the illustrations, the topics include botany, cosmology, astrology, pharmacology and so on. A lot of effort has been put into various investigations. Botanical identifications, even those presumed to be correct, have not provided further information.
However, the ONE has already been found. Back in 2014, IIRC. The ONE and then the OTHER. The comparison of the VMs cosmos with the cosmic illustrations found in BNF Fr. 565 and Harley 334. The context is found not only in the specific details of the cosmic structure, but also in the provenance of the two documented manuscripts. BNF Fr. 565 was made in Paris c. 1410. Harley 334 was made in Paris in the second quarter of 15th century. It's not the author or the general subject that provides context for VMs investigation, it's the shared though unusual cosmic structure, the shared Parisian origins, and the common dating to the first half of the 1400s which matches with the VMs C-14.
The cosmic boundary in BNF Fr 565 has 43 undulations; the VMs nebuly line has 43 ambiguous undulations. And a key factor in VMs interpretation across different illustrations is the recognition of the intentional creation of ambiguity, such as White Aries.
Harley 334 has an illustration of a generic mermaid and her companions; the VMs has an illustration of a non-generic mermaid [Melusine of Luxembourg] and her companions. Melusine was the reputed ancestress of the Valois Dukes of Berry and Burgundy (et al.) History provides verified context of the ducal connections.
There aren't many, but there are several pages where history provides some context to the VMs, if that particular bit of history is known, because it has often become obscure from the modern perspective, like the hereditary, Melusine-Valois connection, the traditional name of the nebuly line, the French word for an obscure, heraldic fur. The proper things were put in the proper places. What's missing is context, a context that appears to have existed in the latter part of the C-14 dates or before 1450. The VMs is probably contemporary, not subsequently faked. The dualistic interpretation of the heraldry on White Aries is a clear indicator of deception. Yet, there are clear indications of Christian religious information, but they are also "tucked away". Perhaps because they hold the keys.
