Rosettes and Astrology

[Rafal]

In any case, I think we can agree that the author cobbled together the imagery from a multitude of sources he'd come across, and re-used the elements he liked within the VM. I think this is also compatible with the idea that the author was building some sort of personal fantasy world in which the drawings may or may not have held allegorical meaning for their creator.

Yes, I would agree about the composite structure of the imagery.

I personally considered "fantasy world" option, thought if the author could be a mentally ill person or just some medieval autistic kid living in his personal dream world.

For me the biggest problem with this concept is that VM seems to have several scribes. It seems to exclude the idea of a single, crazy guy. One man may be chasing his dreams, a group of men working together in a coordinated way should be in theory more practical and rational.

Unless they are hired by a rich dreamer
