Two Paragraph Starters in Folio 1r

[Dobri]

A more plausible interpretation of the first red embellishment is that it could possibly depict a planted seed with two cotyledons (also called dicotyledons, or dicots).

Cotyledons (seed leaves) are the first leaves to emerge from a seed during germination.

Then the second red embellishment could possibly depict the preparation of the grown harvested plant for medicinal purposes.

[Stefan Wirtz_2]

The second and third paragraphs in folio 1r have starters in the form of red embellishments which could be purely decorative or could hint at something.

The starter in the second 
The starter in the third paragraph could possibly be a stylized image of:

- the Bowl of Hygieia with a snake above it;

- a hearth with rising smoke symbolizing Hestia or Vesta;

- a genie (jinn) jar;
etc.

Please kindly share your ideas about the two paragraph starters.

I saw this both on a sheet ~1 month ago, cant find it yet.
First was a bird,
second: the lines are smoke, something was burning in that thing.

Both only decorative in that sheet.

The linked image is an example of a seed with two cotyledons.

Can you recognise the symbol?

Can you recognise the symbol?

Thanks, the first red embellishment could possibly be a plough indeed. 

By the way, do you have in Switzerland some surviving medieval agricultural celebrations similar to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. or You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.?

I don't know. Never heard of it.

So far, several different proposals have been given regarding the interpretation of the drawings found on folio 1r.

In my opinion, the interpretation of these ideograms is exceptionally difficult to deduce, and at the same time surprisingly easy, if one were to assume one, cardinal thesis, from which further conclusions would follow, stating that the herbal part of the Voynich Manuscript constitutes a kind of compendium of knowledge about our History, in a similar sense to the aluminium plate covered with a thin layer of gold, which was sent into space in the seventies of the 20th century on the probe of the American space probe Pioneer 10.

And so, specifically: the letters beginning the second and third paragraph of the first page of the Voynich Manuscript: large and quite unusual in their shape, in their idea refer to the cyclical nature of the Universe - the Big Bang and the Collapse.

In my interpretation, special attention should be paid to the shape of these figures.

The shape of the first drawing is clearly expansive, even explosive – which is confirmed by the centripetal shape of the bend at the ends. The drawing below has a completely different shape. You can notice more rounded shapes in this drawing. The most suggestive element of this ideogram is the spirally wavy line in the center of this drawing. Its purpose is to visualize the return part of the cyclically exploding and collapsing universe.
