Some argue that the script is humanistic. I'm not convinced, because it's like comparing apples and oranges.

There are a few hatch patterns typical of post-1450 drawings but they are not used consistently for 3D shading, so again an unconvincing argument.

The many nymphs, if they are interpreted as mythological allegories, may be evidence of a Renaissance-type work, drawing from Greco-Latin mythology, unless they are actually from some other mythology, in which case all bets are off.
