The Modern Forgery Hypothesis

[R. Sale]

The difficulty I have is with the contents of the illustrations. While much of the VMs remains enigmatic, there are several examples where research has developed some interesting historical information. Investigations of the cosmos, of sleeves and hats, as well as prospective interpretation of the Golden Fleece of Burgundy, all date to the first half of the 15th Century, which matches the most restrictive interpretation of the C-14 results.

Having 15th C. info in a text and claiming 13th C. origins is essentially providing the evidence that the text is a fraud and expecting it to remain undiscovered.
