I managed to create this effect on the computer. Basically, you need to rotate the manuscript 90 degrees clockwise, so that the right side faces you. Then look at it sideways, closing your eyes slightly. The photo here is just an example — ideally, you’d need the real manuscript or a sheet of paper to try it yourself, not on a computer.

It gives a completely new view of the manuscript. It still doesn’t make any sense, but it’s a new perspective — something I haven’t seen before.

I just see the manuscript and therefore the images and voynichese rotated? What "different perspective" do you mean? Of course by rotating the pages the content would appear, you guessed it, rotated Huh

Take a page from the Voynich manuscript and rotate it 90 degrees clockwise.
Then tilt it slightly, so the part closest to you is nearest your eyes.
Now, squint and look at the shapes of the letters — you’ll start seeing clusters, alignments, and forms that aren’t obvious when you view the page normally.

I’ve been looking at the VMS for years, and trust me: whatever you think you’re seeing is pareidolia at best and hallucination at worst.

Hi everyone,

I’m working on the rosettes and there are so many details I want to share with you, which you might already know or might not. Besides Lisa’s fascinating conference, I don’t want to be influenced by other opinions: I’m starting entirely from what I see myself and I’m surely wrong in some parts, but this is how I’m working.

Let’s start with the focus of the rosettes. In the center of the rosettes, formed by a circle bordered by a thin ring of writing (like the other four circles at north, south, east, and west), we find six flasks/ampoules: four clearly visible, two hidden behind in perspective. They have a well-defined shape: bulging at the top, ending in a pointed tip with a sort of cross, and with a rather open base.

In the center of these ampoules, there is what at first seemed like a fishing net, but upon reconsideration could be a fluid, generated by the combination of these ampoules.

I compared the shape of these ampoules with those found in the final recipes of the manuscript, and I found five that are very similar to the ones represented in the center of the rosettes.

This is my first post about the rosettes, so if you want to comment on this rather unusual idea, I’m open to any feedback.

I’m attaching two images:
1. One explaining my point of view about what’s in the center of the rosettes.
2. One showing my search for these ampoules in the final recipes.

In addition, besides other details that I will provide in my next posts, I’ve also done some research to be able to present different viewpoints. I’ve formed an idea that, as you all probably know, the rosettes are the gravitational center around which the Voynich rotates. The center of these six ampoules is the focus of the entire Voynich.

If these six ampoules represent different fluids that, when combined, form the fluid in the middle — and considering that in perspective two ampoules are behind — then the fluid with the little stars or asterisks is exactly between the six ampoules. This fluid that is generated is the focus of the entire Voynich.

This is my first post about the rosettes, so if you want to comment on this rather unusual idea, I’m open to any feedback.

Make up your mind. At the top of your post you wrote, "I don’t want to be influenced by other opinions:"

Also, I remember a long post with a red and yellow tent.

Thanks for your comment, pjburkshire. Just to clarify: in my observations I try not to be influenced by others’ opinions, but I am absolutely open to discussion and feedback. These are preliminary ideas, and I’m very interested in hearing other perspectives on the rosettes.

Did you read any of that old thread that I posted on Monday?

Here it is again:

Thank you, pjburkshire. I’ll share my analysis in your thread. I appreciate the suggestion.

I have found some medieval images of alembics showing structures with connected containers and tubes.
Some elements seem visually comparable to certain figures in the Voynich Manuscript.
I’m not saying this is proof, but it might be worth considering a possible technical parallel in addition to the symbolic one.
