Was the VMS artist a fan of Michael Scot?

[NosDa]

However, as people pointed out, the similarity is not between original illustrations of Michael Scot (did he illustrated his works himself and did the picture survived?) but between VM and illustrations of Michael Scot works done by German artists around 1400, 200 years after Scot's death.

That's exactly my point  

The VMS artist was a fan of Michael Scot copies!

"Every astrologer is worthy of praise and honour," Scot wrote, "since by such a doctrine as astrology he probably knows many secrets of God, and things which few know."

Maybe our author became a fan after reading this (worked on me). 

It's interesting that Scot studied Arabic commentaries on the Greeks. Astrological content can usually be used to reverse-engineer to a certain lineage, or school at least, since the tradition was so broken in history. There are divergences and gaps therein that would maybe give us some extra clues to the author, if the concepts could be better defined. The issue is that the VMs, to me, presents several concepts that share features from multiple schools. One of the major transmission and breaking points is this transition from the Hellenistic scholars, into the Arabic. It's exciting from that perspective, the VMs could tell us more about our discipline with further study, regardless if a full solution to the text is found.
