In different documents we can see some characters that resemble the 'gallow' characters,
but not in combination with the very straight character 4.
The number 4 used in manuscripts in the period 1300-1475 is rare, because they often uses the![[Image: 4.jpg]](http://ms.webpoint.nl/img/favadiani/4.jpg)
for the number 4
Als ligatures that resemble a four are not quite the same as the Voynich 4.
Often you see a 4 but it is an accidental 4 based on a + like this (vita + felicitas)![[Image: vita.jpg]](http://ms.webpoint.nl/img/favadiani/vita.jpg)
Now, i have found some presentations of the 4, but i am not always sure what they mean in the context.
Does anyone have other paleographical examples of the 4 in that period, that would be interesting as well of course
Can you help with the transcripiton ?
