  This 'theory' is based on the investigations of Ms. E. Velinska regarding the VMs cosmic illustration of an inverted 'T-O', geocentric Earth, in comparison with cosmic illustrations found in BNF Fr. 565 and Harley 334, over a decade ago. It has also been a number of years since she chose to delete her web page. Last I looked, Rene's site still referenced those expired links.
  
  So rather than leading to nowhere, something should be said to those interested in promoting their new theories, in regard to the information derived from this comparison. All three sources show a very simplified cosmos with a similar structure. It's a long story but it reveals a lot about the VMs artist. The two historical sources have provenance located to Paris in the first half of the 1400s. This is coincident with the C-14 dates of the VMs parchment.
  
  The structural similarities of the VMs show an ideological connection. There are 43 undulations. There is a 'mermaid' with four companions. Yet there is also a clear attempt at visual dissimilarity. There is a lot more to be considered relating to cosmic boundaries, Shirakatsi's "Eight phases of the Moon" and other things that would have been more familiar to the educated elite of the early 15th century than they are today.

  Recently, I spent quite a bit of time cleaning up numerous open ends, but undoubtedly there are still more. I would be happy to hear about them. 
  I should probably add more about this cosmic comparison, but even higher on my list would be her herb comparisons, as part of a larger effort to combine the various herb comparisons. And there are still many other things.
  
  I did decide to add the comparison of the winds diagram with f69r, because I had completely forgotten about it, and can only suspect so would others.

  The choice is yours, obviously, and her plant IDs are interesting, but others have done the same and sometimes they even agree. The problem is that even when an identification seems to be clear, the botanical investigations rarely go any further. A waterlily is a waterlily and then what?
  
  The cosmic comparison is clear enough; there are no alternative interpretations. It has strong historical connections matching VMs C-14, and it is an example of how the VMs artist treats visual information. The cosmic comparison has a lot to say. All of which make it more significant (IMHO), than any of the proposed botanical IDs. In addition, the problems of accessibility have made it difficult for new investigators to discover.
