f18v...Dioscorides...something about those leaves

[ReneZ]

My impression is that out of the Dioscorides MSS we have compared so far, the Chig 159 is a bit closer to the VM than the others. But this must be confirmed first.

So maybe we should take the plants we have compared now, and compare them over all illustrated Dioscorides MS we know of, then see if the Chigi really stands out? If maybe there is a better one? I will make a new thread.

I will be happy to add to that thread with what I already have, but the proposed enterprise is a huge one, and like I already wrote, this must have been done and published already.
