| Heraldic pattern: Bendy |

In the investigation of Fieschi heraldry in relation to VMs White Aries, it soon becomes apparent that there is still a fair amount of confusion and misrepresentation regarding the details of this heraldic pattern.
The Fieschi blazon is: Bendy, argent et azur. So, it's stripes are 'silver and blue' or blue and white. Which color goes first, and what does the mean in the actual representation? You will see examples in both variations - where the blue stripes and the white stripes are reversed. Which one is correct?
The problem of representation is inherent in the image system itself, being based on the division of the topline of the insignia into *three* different bands. The solution is a version that divides the topline into *four* as seen at the tomb of Pope Adrian V in Viterbo.

This pattern fulfills both the general rule that the primary/first-named tincture should occupy the uppermost, dexter position. And secondly, a specific rule, for the bendy pattern, that the small slice in the lower left side is the primary tincture and the last little triangle in the opposite corner is the secondary tincture, so that it would be correct when rotated to vertical. This pattern clearly conforms to both of those heraldic rules.
The coincidence is that this is the tomb of Ottobuono Fieschi, who was made a cardinal (1251) by his uncle Sinibaldo Fieschi (Pope Innocent IV), who had originated the tradition of the cardinal's red galero - as depicted on VMs White Aries. The historic combination of these two specific heraldic elements is unique. And while obscure to many these days, it was known and used by the VMs artist.

| Voynichese Verifier |

If some computer program were created, call it the 'Voynichese Verifier'
It would quantify how much some text was comparable to voynichese[#1].
what would be the minmum requirements for the code to check ?
-check all words against voynichese dictionary
-entropy levels
What else?
Note#1
Obviously it would not be 100% as voynichese is an unknown but it would be consistent and work as a rough guide
For instance, if you wanted to compare the output of Timm&Schinners 'self-citation' method Vs Mike Roes generic word.

This new book:

is a new edition of the Voynich MS, entirely in German. It is a very high quality print, and the binding is certainly much nicer than the picture at the above link suggests. As far as I can tell, the page images are at 1:1 scale, not reduced as in the Watkins edition.
(I have no finiancial or other interests in this edition).

I do not know what to make of it (a link on FB just caught my eye), and I'm not sure if I'm prepared to pay the claimed price of 40 euros, but for what it's worth, I re-post the link here.
At least 254 pages is something solid in existence.|
I'm not familiar with the contents of this book, nor with the background of Prof. Matarese. Her You are not allowed to view links.

The annotation on Amazon claims that "The Beinecke 408 manuscript contains many references both to the practice of seiðr and to the knowledge of our Ancestors". I hesitate to admit that I am not familiar with what seiðr is; as for the knowledge of our Ancestors, this is perhaps a bit trivial and hence not subject for disproval.

| Missing Voynich Manuscript Pages Found! |

I've got something very special to show you. This is amazing. I managed to get authentic missing pages of the voynich manuscript! I won them from an auction. They were found by someone inside of an old antique book from the 1500s. They were pulled out as leaves in the book. They were sitting there for hundreds of years.
Here is a link to the pages

One of the pages shows two birthing women inside a venus flytrap. Another page shows the birthing woman holding the venus flytrap. One woman is putting pressure on the other woman's stomach to help give birth. This time it is shown as the planet venus and glowing with light. So I did some research and I believe the voynich is showing here that if you put pressure on the venus flytrap's leaves stomach, it makes it glow in the dark. I looked it up and sure enough it does. The leaves of venus flytrap glow blue when creatures threaten it by biting on the leaves or putting pressure. It's a defense mechanism to help lure them into the trap.

In You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. I proposed to read the words pykedy (1B) olfchedy (4B) in the first line of 78v as Πηνιτις αφετις, where Πηνιτις, weaver, would be an epithet of Athena and αφετις (αφετης) could be an astrology term - prorogator (LSJ).
I tried to search for information on the net with very little return:
- Prorogator, aphete or hyleg are the synonymous terms used in horoscopes ;
- Athena, as a virgin, can replace Artemis to designate the Moon.
I know that very few members of this forum accept the possibility of mono-alphabetic coding for the manuscript, nor the Greek or Latin language, nevertheless I ask the question: do you have some knowledge on the use of these terms in astrology?
