The theory that we will never know what the VMS is

[JustAnotherTheory]

It is "said" that about 10% of all medieval mansucripts are lost forever. This includes the work of most European scribes. Only a very few portion of of copyists, or originals, survive to this day (2026).

Therefore it stands to reason if there existed an inspiration for some of the VMS' werid folios, like those in the balneary section, we will 

NEVER

know.
