Difficult, however, to think that Pellegrino Prisciani, the erudite creator of the pictorial cycle, it was so blatantly wrong in pointing to the artists the inverse order of zodiac signs and deans. Of course, there may be an intuitive (how simple and effective) an explanation of why the Deans are placed, in sequence of three for each sign, from left to right: it could be an effect similar to that of a printed countdown photograph, fruit of our reading direction (also in the pictures) clockwise, than Arabic, which is oriented in the opposite direction. In Ferrara, "the reversal of the direction of the deans (...) would then be nothing more than the result of a transcript of Arab intermediate sources made by Europeans" (Hübner [1999a]: 11).

RE: If it feels like an Alberti Cipher it is one! - -JKP- - 16-05-2017

Do you ever actually check or read the links you post?



I looked at your Latin examples. The one you might have thought referred to Aries did not say Aries, it said, "of Aries". It wasn't the name of the constellation, it was a grammatical construction referring in general to a ram. The other ones you labeled do not have the same "of [constellation]" grammar. The other examples on that page were referring to battering rams used in siege warfare, not to Aries the ram.

So they had nothing to do with Aries the constellation, just as the giraffe definition you cited earlier had nothing to do with the giraffe constellation that was created centuries after the VMS.

It's not enough for a word to look similar. The words junk and junket look similar but they mean completely different things.

RE: If it feels like an Alberti Cipher it is one! - Koen G - 16-05-2017

I say form because, as JKP says, arietis is the genitive form of Aries. It's not a synonym, and you're not allowed to use it as the base form of the word.

Your methodology is full of holes. It's not because something took a lot of research thst it's true. Sometimes Voynich researchers spend months and months researching a hypothesis, only to realize at the end that it is impossible, unlikely or that there is not enough evidence to prove it. 

And sometimes they find something which may be relevant, in which case they check it, double check it and then publish the results free of charge on a blog or forum.

But that is the way of science. We want to find out the truth. This also involves guarding the distinction between what is impossible, implausible, uncertain and true. 

Your cipher is impossible because it's a one-way cipher with literally billions and billions of possible decryption results for the MS. But this is okay for you, since it allows you to come up with whatever nonsense you want and sell it.

And when we point out that one of the words you use is historically or grammatically impossible, you don't see a problem since your absurd cipher, just like the last one, allows you to replace it with a million other words.

You create elaborate word games for yourself, but that doesn't bring us one step closer to learning anything at all about the VM.

I have searched since 2006 for this Castle and nobody will convince me otherwise that this VMS Castle is not a product for Ferrara.
