Nice blogpost, informative, clearly laid out and with some interesting ideas to persue and think about,
like the possibility of obtaining a bifolio reordering sequence by following the progression of the liquid stain.
Whilst reading the Staining hypothesis put forward in the that last paragraph of the 'Staining' section of the above article,
i had an idea, whether its logical or not, idk.
Staining hypothesis:
The VMS gets liquid spilt onto it , owner quickly decides to disassemble the wet bifolios
then sets them aside to dry BUT then VMS is rebound before the bifolios are completely dry.
a) Rebinding is not an everyday skill, it take someone who knows what they are doing.
BUT anyone who knows about rebinding MSS's would surely know to wait for the bifolia to completely dry.
b) If the VMS bifolia were rebound before they could completely dry.
then that means that the bifolia arrived into the hands of a MSS-binder in a fairly short amount of time,
which implies that the then VMS owner had binding skills or that a MSS-binder was located close by and was available.
