Getting close to a source for f85r2

[ReneZ]

Lake Konstanz, which has been in the focus for several reasons, is also not far.

Just to be clear, are we thinking about the possibility of the Council drawing in an international crowd (and their books) to the area?

There is nothing too specific about lake Konstanz (a.k.a. "Bodensee"). The Council has been mentioned numerous times, but it is 'just' an event that took place around the time of creation of the MS. I am not aware of any specific link (of any substance) between it and the MS. Ellie had a blog post about this, I think, but my recollection is vague.

More interesting is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. I won't say that this is hard evidence, but of some interest nonetheless.

Finally, St.Gallen, with its famous library, is close to the Bodensee, and quite a number of MSs from this library have been brought up here for comparison material (for example in Nick's blog post above, but also for zodiac images and others).
These may or may not be from the aera, so again nothing too specific.

(This is why I used the vague term "in the focus").

While on this topic, not everyone may be aware of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., which also provides a link to the same general area.

Edit: there is also You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
