Re: VMs: Vermont Manuscript 2

["Robert Antony Hicks" <rob_hicks_vms@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anybody know any more about this ms?  Who wrote it, for example?  
Further examination of the available images shows a very powerful match 
between this ms and the VMS -

The style of the plant drawings, including their rustic colouration.
The intrusion of the text into the plant drawings.
The figures, particularly the naked 'defacator'.
The herbs with labels, rather like the VMS pharma section.

I'm prepared to diplome for images of the remaining folios - I think this 
could be important, if only to verify that at least one other ms of similar 
content (beyond the passing similarity of other herbals) exists. Rob
