Register or Login to view.The missing pages (that we know about) were removed after the folio numbers were written. According to experts, the style of the numbers says they were written in the 1600s. IF the VMS was acquired by Rudolf from Widemann, that happened in 1599. So, in order for the pages to have been removed before that sale, the timeline would have to be stretched a bit.It could have been in other hands before it reached Widemann. It's possible that whoever numbered the pages already knew that some pages were missing.
I meant that for the pages to have been removed before 1599, the folio numbers would have had to be written before that date. Which would be stretching the "17th century" date based on the style of the numbers.
