I add something suspicious of this manuscript: on folio 43v there is "Erd Apfel":
That means "potatoes" in German. And it looks indeed like the picture shows potatoes.
BUT: the manuscript is from 1462 . How is that possible? Potatoes were brought into Europe after Columbus (after 1492). What is this sorcery?
