A random rant about the VMS

[Rafal]

So basically what you guys are saying, is that the VMS could have been written by anyone, illustrated by anyone,

Maybe not anyone. Everything, including carbon dating but not only, suggests early 1400s and the style suggests region of Southern Germany, Switzerland and Northern Italy.

But people often make a mistake assuming for sure that it was created by some big, famous guy.

They give names as Roger Bacon, Leonardo da Vinci, Nicholas of Cusa, Regiomontanus or even some  Antonio Averlino who is maybe 2nd league but still not a noname.

For me it is very possible that VM was created by some totally unknown man, some John Doe (don't confuse with John Dee )

And if it was made by some man whose name hasn't survived, then well, we will never know it (no sh!t Sherlock ).
