Although I am dubious about the way Rustandi came to this conclusion, a figure like Giovanni Aurispa is certainly a possible candidate for the "translation" of the VMS. There will have been other, unknown travelers who ensured a lively "import" of works of antiquity to Europe (early Renaissance). Aurispa is merely one of the well-known humanists with an extensive catalog of works. Translation work (whatever it may have looked like) was also carried out by others.
