I'm pretty sure there is a connection since even now Tanacetum is the herb "of the Germans". [..]
Well, I am German and have not the slightest idea how you came to this statement.
If there was any „herb of the Germans“ (regarding those who are not relevant for brewing), it
would be Kamille, Matricaria chamomilla.
Tanacetum, Zitronenmelisse, is just one of many herbs, and no one would consider it very important or relevant.
Even more, T. has it‘s origin in eastern mediterranian and Caucasus regions, which is more „my direction“ of understanding.
But this does not mean I would even see your identification as right.
And I heavily doubt that your interpretation aka translation has anything to do with a „Germanic“ language, be it medieval or even older.

I didn't mean to be argumentative or arrogant. I apologize for my belated reply. I "preferred" Facebook (though, to be fair, I'm not very active in that group either, partly due to lack of time and partly because I'm tired of reading outlandish theories with no concrete basis) only because Lisa Fagin Davis is in the group, who occasionally posts news about codex-related events, and because every now and then someone makes potentially interesting contributions that could broaden my research. Also, because at least in most cases you can read the person's name and surname, put a face to the person, and maybe even find out what they do for a living. Unfortunately, not in forums. But that's probably my problem.
