116v Multiple Entries - RobGea - 27-08-2025
It has been suggested that the marginalia on folio 116v is not 1 coherent unit but rather made up of multiple entries,
that may or may not be related to one another[1].
In this image the marginalia is broken down into 6 blocks(figures) with block 1 having three subunits.
The proposition is:
These 6 figures are the multiple entries, figs.1abc are all from the vms author and the rest are considered as separate entries.
These entries could be made 5 minutes apart or 50 years apart and by one person or multiple people.
~ Description ~
1a. EVA-'oror sheey' { but it is a little far from the doodles }
1b. Nymph
1c. Goat, cloven hooves, horns { but the tail is very large for a goat }
2. 'lab' = german for 'rennet' // doodle is possibly a goats stomach
3. 'pox leber' = German for 'goat liver' followed by 2 Unknown words
4. possible charm with crosses and rhyme structure; on the 2nd line the 1st four words endswith 'x'
5. Unknown text (illustrative reading: 'valsch vbren' )
6. Unknown text (illustrative reading: 'so nim gasmich')
~ Sequence and relation of Entries ~
1abc) Original author, scribe, creator; Doodles and text.
2) Unknown actor; draws goats stomach and word 'lab', in reference to Goat image fig.1c.
3) Unknown actor; extends the 'goat' theme from fig.1c and fig.2. with the 'pox leber' text.
4) Unknown actor; adds a 'charm' -- possibly to protect any readers of the vms.
5) Unknown actor; makes either a response to fig.1a, e.g an attempted translation of the 2 voynichese words.
Or a response to fig.4, -- possibly the phrase 'it is proven' sometimes added to more historically recent charms[2].
6) Unknown actor; makes a response to fig.5 -- if 'gasmich' means goats milk then this is a possible reference to the goat theme ie figs 1c,2 and 3.
~ Summary of themes ~
figs 1a, 1b --> Doodles
figs 1c, 2, 3 --> Goat theme
fig 4 --> Charm
fig 5 --> charm related
fig 6 --> Goat reference and possibly also references fig 5.
