I voted "I don't know", because I don't know. But I'm glad to see many people know more than me :)

My guess is 'medical', but that does not seem to be one of the available choices.

Quire 13 may look medicinal, but it also looks possibly to be about witchcraft [ You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ]. But the real question is is it genuine and meaningful, or just a hoax, a fabrication made to resemble work that the writer may have observed in other manuscripts.

Register or Login to view. that you find so convincing. I cannot see anything significant about this page. Are you willing to participate in a little thought experiment? Let's say you were talking on the phone with someone who didn't have access to the Internet at that time to look at f82r. Just for now, focus on the illustrations at the top of the page. How would you describe, in your own words, to the person you were speaking with who could not see the illustrations, what you were seeing on the top of You are not allowed to view links.

Hmmm, some naked women and some pipes with water. And what do you see?

I've been posting here on this forum for 2 years telling what I see. My words haven't worked. It's time for me to try something else. I'm asking other members to tell me what they see. How many women do you see in the top illustration on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ? Are they all the same? Member details

Asking us to relate these illustrations to everyday objects is pointless. The illustrations seem to be there just to give the impression that the manuscript holds some knowledge on the mystic mysteries that were in common belief at the time. Member details

Is there any particular commonly believed mystic mystery of the early 15th century that you see being represented in that illustration? |
