A recent post on ExLibris-L led to a blog by Lisa Fagin Davis on this 
manuscript: 
https://manuscriptroadtrip.wordpress.com/2015/01/17/manuscript-road-trip-the-worlds-most-mysterious-manuscript/ 
. Dr. Davis is currently Executive Director of the Medieval Academy of 
America. The blog does not specifically deal with cartographic 
issues/speculations, but has a lot of visuals and a good bit of 
background information.
