Was the VM a failure?

[Koen G]

What is out of the ordinary is that they don't even attempt to adhere to a known tradition. Sure, there may be an echo here and there, but the overall programme (if we can speak of such a thing) is disconnected from the known. The only example I know of where this happens with 100+ plants is the Trinity College MS O.2.48 herbal we discussed on the forum before. But even this MS started out with some traditional sequences.
