You're right that Altkölnisch would have been closer to Middle Dutch than Middle High German is, but I read it still had High German influences. And the page you posted is really just Dutch - I'd be very surprised if this was the dialect from Cologne. Probably Helmut can confirm.

I found a lot of important things for myself. all that you have posted is might be true. but for me the thread in the question is not lost - why the VM was created? The manuscript could been a 15th centurie's imitation for many reasons. for example 1. because it was an order. 2. it was an order, and it was believed that in the 15th century magic books were more magical. i'm not denied 15th century spirit. It will be strange to find 16th century evidence. but i'll try in another way.(04-04-2019, 06:53 PM)rasiratros Wrote: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view....
Are there significant facts to believe that the author lived in the 15th century and did not use drawings from books in 16th (clothing)?
1. Exemplars that are most similar to the VMS zodiac figures are mostly late-14th and 15th century (I've posted maps to show location and time periods, numerous others have posted examples and specifics).
2. Clothing fits very closely with the zodiac symbols (I've posted articles on tunics and hats, and Koen has posted research specifically on the time period for the overall fashion styles).
3. Radio-carbon dating indicates c. 1404 to c. 1438.
4. The 116v text is consistent with early 15th century scripts (I base this assessment on locating and comparing more than 1,000 similar scripts).
5. The quire numbers are consistent with late-14th-century and 15th-century numeral styles.
6. The labels added to the zodiac figures are harder to assess because there are so few words, but they are probably mid- or late-15th century.
7. T-in-O diagrams died out when people became more familiar with the rest of the globe and with magnetic compasses and were pretty much gone by the mid-16th century.
Those are the ones I can think of quickly while I have a short (very short) lunch break.

Some say, however, that this information is not correct. Unfortunately, the report is no longer available online.Is there any information on the comparison of ink VM glyfs and Latin letters from the first page?
