Just to go back to the "cross" for a moment, I was going to share this but I decided not to due to the seemingly fairly definitive theory online that this MS is a fake, and even if it is not, not much is known. But I was checking out Koens youtube discussion on the MS, so I thought maybe its ok to throw it into the pot.
Obviously this is massively over analysing a faded, rough, cross shape. But I just wonder.. and I had the images to hand anyway so..
The Rohonc Codex has "wobbly crosses" on buildings and chairs and normal crosses elsewhere, there's even one on the building in the foreground on one of these images, then further way it gets "wobbly". One of the previous posts about tents also caught my eye because some of these images seem to show tents also
I've been trying to find something plausible, but while there are many... many! variations of the cross.. nothing is really "wobbly", and I know the VM artist could draw a pair of shoes and it would be a great mystery we couldn't quite work out, because they just seem to like doing that.... but a cross is 2 strokes.. you could ask 100 children to draw a cross and none of them would come back done in the way the VM cross is drawn.. I know I should just let it go, it's a quick, sloppy cross.. but for some reason I keep thinking about it and the ones in the Rohonc Codex
