I know next to nothing about medieval anything, but I always thought Don Quixote of 1605 was ironically referring to some past tradition of fantasy chivalry novels, so I would assume these had been extremely popular and seen as what they were: a fantasy.
Also, I tried looking up examples of medieval fantasy online, found references like this one: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
The second story mentioned there has an interesting detail: the Moon as a cosmic trash dump, not unlike MCU Sakaar. To me this looks pretty much as a simple version of the modern fantasy world building.
What exactly is anachronistic in the concept of a fantasy world wrt the Voynich manuscript?
