Thanks! I wonder what this all means within the context of the VMS, as we have now found several instances of "poxleber" in 15xx literature:
- Was the marginalia on folio 116v of the VMS written after 1500?
- Is the marginalia on folio 116v meant to be a vulgarity towards something/someone? I.e., "poxleber ? lucifer/putzifer": "god d*mn lucifer / this idiot Putzifer"?
- Was "poxleber" a common slang in the early 1400s as well?
