  Many people have tried to make sense of the marginalia on folio f17v. This the relevant part I'm talking about:
  
     
  
  I am now focusing on the middle word, "luez". This word appears in many writings of the 15th century German scribe, Nicolaus von Dinkelsbühl. Here are a few examples:
  
     
  
  This is from the manuscript BSB Clm 14319. Here is another one, from the manuscript Tractatus de partibus paenitentiae et de VII vitiis:
  
     
  
  As you can see, this ressembles the VMS "luez":
  
     
  
  Could this be a match?

  Can you provide links to the respective documents and where exactly to find these words?

  Good find. Unusual abbreviation, probably "lucem".

  I can confirm "lucem". In the clip I posted above, the line is even more concentrated on the "c3" part.
  
  So I assume the word in the VM can be read as lucem, but only if we are willing to ignore that the first letter is "k"....

  Koen, I believe the first letter is a cursive lowercase "L". Look at my second example in the original post. Of course I may be wrong.

  I would read "lucis" here, genitiv
  
  lucis spirituale
  lucis corporale
  
  but I think it's a different word than in 17
