  are the pictures related about the pictures on the astronomy page undeciphered?
Posted by: februs - 29-05-2023, 07:11 AM - Forum: Astrology & Astronomy - Replies (9)

those pictures were written by ancient languages.
have the pictures been deciphered? 
and were the letters on the pages before and after the pictures deciphered?


I guess they have been deciphered, but I haven't heard about them ( ;´Д`)


ancient Japanese documents have been deciphered in Japan. so I can read them in modern language. 


once the text of the pictures or the text on the pages before and after the pictures are deciphered,
we can understand  the meaning of the pictures.

what does it look like now?

  What's up with variants of Currier 'E'/EVA 'l'?
Posted by: kckluge - 28-05-2023, 12:53 AM - Forum: Analysis of the text - Replies (8)

If you look carefully, EVA 'l' comes in at least two variants, depending on how the top of the 'x' portion of the character is closed. In some cases it's with a single linear stroke across the top, and in some cases it's with an arched stroke (or even a very carefully done '^') across the top. This is not a between-scribes variation, as can be seen by perusing f83v:

* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. shows a nice example of the straight-stroke-across form

* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. shows a nice example of the '^'-top form

Given that this is/appears to be a constructed script, the only correct answer to the question of whether the distinction matters lies in the (unknown) intention of the creator(s), but one can at least ask whether from a paleographical perspective this is *likely* to be a meaningful, intended distinction as opposed to scribal haste/slioppiness.

Thoughts?

  about 「Handy table」by Ptolemaios
Posted by: februs - 26-05-2023, 05:52 AM - Forum: Voynich Talk - Replies (11)

I think that v67 and 「Handy table」are similar.
especially innermost circle of Handy table and moon circle of v67 are similar.


Handy table was made by Ptolemaios.
its purpose is to make a convenient chart of astrology.

innermost circle mean 'time when the sun enters the corresponding sign'.
so black woman mean the time is night. white woman mean the time is day.

HERE I HAVE ONE QUESTION

depending on the year, the time when the sun enters the corresponding sign changes.
so, for example, the sun entering Aries in one year may be daytime,
but in another year it will be night time.

I can understand if Handy table was made for a specific year.
but Handy table was made for convenience.
so if Handy table was made for a long time, inconsistent with black and white woman.


what does that mean??

  The Voynich-Ms as a concatenation of abbreviations
Posted by: Helmut Winkler - 23-05-2023, 02:00 PM - Forum: Theories & Solutions - Replies (69)

The Voynich-Ms as a concattenation of Abbreviations

I came to the conclusion years ago that the ms. could not be a coded text and then began to search the shallows of medieval lore for possible alternatives.

Three things stood out: the text is almost completely legible in that sense, but makes no sense, and glyphs stand out that are clearly medieval abbreviations; moreover, the same characters and groups of characters appear again and again.

I found after some time the little-known practice of using the 'normal' medieval abbreviation system in place of a shorthand that the Middle Ages had not developed and the Tironian notes that had fallen out of use.
I came to the conclusion that it was a text written in this abbreviation system.

The text of the so-called Voynich manuscript, Beinecke 408 is a sequence of so-called words,  sense units, which in turn are a sequence of abbreviations.

The script is a Gothic minuscule with the corresponding abbreviations and additional derivations probably from the Uncial.

Abbreviations

The breakthrough came when I realised that the character sequence daiin must be read differently, namely as d' aui and an abbreviation stroke, which is then clearly to be interpreted as dicit auicenna - it is actually the problem of textualis, which knows similar sequences of minims that are very difficult to read.
One then quickly notices more abbreviations

q for the relative pronoun quod EVA q

ct for caput EVA c and h

9 cum/con or ending EVA y

the two etc abbreviations, EVA g and m
 
Numbers

2 EVA r

5 EVA s

Litterae singulares - Gallows

The two P, EVA f and p, M EVA t and N EVA k, the meaning could be Pliny, Nat: Hist., Pandects, Mesue or Macer, (Antidotarium) Nicolai.

Marginalia
The so-called marginalia consist largely of abbreviations, the best example is 116v,  primum, palden probiren, gas milch, also the so-called spell seems to contain abbreviations, I just noticed that the third a in oladabas is not an a but a con - abbreviation.  17r en seems to mean emplastrum - at least that is what the illustration suggests.

Vatican Archives
I have heard from a reliable source of B. 408 comparable noizen in the AAV, but have not yet been able to locate the original, perhaps one of the readers works there and knows more.

Atahanasius Kircher
I think that A.K. recognised and was able to read the shortening system, whether he read it is another question.

Avicenna
I suspect that the underlying text is Avicenna, Canon, book 2, herbarium, book 5 recipe part and the gynaecology of book 3, except for the astronomical part, perhaps Ptolemy, Tetrabiblos?

If my hypothesis is correct, this does not solve all the problems, of course,
on the contrary. In many cases you just have to guess what the text means and I am not at all sure that all glyphs always mean the same thing.

Conclusion
The text of the so-called Voynich Manuscript, Beinecke 408 is a sequence of so-called words, sense units, which in turn are a sequence of abbreviations.

Questions and comments welcome

While it is not specifically related to the Voynich MS, the Histocrypt 2023 conference could be of interest to some.

It takes place in Munich, from 20 to 22 June. The conference web site is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..

The programme is still in draft form and not all of the information is fully up to date (I will not be a speaker, for example). I am sure that that will all be fixed very soon.
