The Hunterian manuscript was probably manufactured around York and now resides in Scotland. Many current theories about the VMS are not in accordance with this idea, nor are their propounders very eager to embrace it.
There was definitely some "cross-pollination" between monasteries in England and those in central Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries. I've been tracing handwriting traditions (which were mainly developed for and spread through ecclesiastical writings) and there is a handwriting connection that is probably attributable to monks traveling between these locations (with further study, I might even be able to narrow down which one(s), but it's a time-consuming trail to follow and I can't pinpoint a specific person or date yet).
