RE: VMs: The Villard Portfolio

["Don Latham" <djl@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is indeed a nice MS.   The striking thing about the Villard and other
MS's of the period and the Voynich is the detail in the drawings. The VM
drawings seem almost childish, and lacking in the detail of others.  It
almost seems as if the printing press encouraged the fine drawings.

It is a nice manuscript... without links with VMs.
Villard de Honnecourt was a well known scientist, specialized in church,
geometry, technical parts...
but anything with alchemy.

Mr Robert Halleux, Liege University (Belgium) was a Villard de Honnecourt's
specialist. It is a pleasure to hear him about the middleage and V de H.
