Six onion-roof towers supporting heavens

What if the novelty is in the way things are combined and depicted, rather than in the things themselves?

That's an interesting question. The author was also just a child of his time, meaning that he was familiar with certain traditions, which probably influenced his thinking. Behind the façade of the “idiosyncratic” VMS, there could therefore be a smorgasbord of different traditions and rather banal content, which the author enriched with his own ( unconventional ) ideas. In my opinion, the manuscript is in any case an compilation of various topics and not a work “from a single mold" ( such a composite manuscript was quite common ). This reinforces the assumption of rather ordinary content.
