Wow! Indeed the similarities of details to the VMS Bio section are quite remarkable. Good find!

I don't think that it is a strong conclusion. Manuscript illustrations were often copied from previous books. (The VMS is far from being unique on this aspect.) So it is quite possible that both Martini and the VMS author copied from some book that was created by 1420 or earlier.
Have you seen anything in Martini's book that resembles the VMS Zodiac and Cosmo diagrams?
All the best, --stolfi
