Suspected marginalia in f38v - Anton - 30-07-2018
After Wladimir discovered You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., I began to investigate (on ad-hoc basis) other botanical folios on the subject of potential marginalia.
The idea, which may be very rewarding if it ultimately turns out to hold true, is that the guy had plant names marginalia put down (like to have some reminders of what the plant is, or of what plant should be depicted in the folio), but afterwards erased them out of caution. Interestingly, in some botanical folios certain areas of "erosion" are found, and these may be places where marginalia once were.
Such is f38v. There are three symbols, the first two are barely legible ("t" and "a" ?), the third one is either r rotunda or that Latin abbreviation which looks like Voynichese k (don't remember its meaning). If anything follows that, it's badly smeared.
There are other suspect-folios, but nothing well discernable at the moment.
