Comparison of the structure of plants in the VMS and other medieval Manuscripts.
#14
If you try to classify the plants on the basis of other books, you have to understand that most books are copies of copies of copies ........
But the VM author has drawn very accurately. You don't need to put something together. You just have to understand it.

Example, f21r, pretty sure Polygonum aviculare. Which is very close to the original and the drawing. But here it is classically far from the norm.

The time it takes to make a copy doesn't allow you to spend hours on a plant. Therefore only symbolic. If you have the name, you can draw something that fits.
