The VMS has something to do with the court of Borso d'Este
#3
Don't you find it interesting that this is another manuscript (other than the Balneis) that prominently features large amounts of bathing naked nymphs?

Plus the Cadamosto connection must count for something too.

What if someone from Este's court, some amateur with access to his vast library, used it to copy some images and then create the illustrations of the VMS? Can be someone provincial, sure.
