Don't worry JKP, what you say don't sound derogatory. With the discussion we will be able to advance
I think in Science the theory many times comes before the demonstration. In any case is a mutual interaction. For solve the Voynich we need a theory wich fit with the mindset of mankind of XV century and to be consistent with what we see. No a mental construction. What I see in a page is a string of ooooooooo in a circle and in many pages the same o in the center of stars. It is the same o that I see in the 'text'. I see the leaned i in the clock of the Rossettes repeated three times, the same leaned i I see in the 'text'. I see in another page the planetary aspects, and like many people I see the lunars mansions and eclipses drawn. And I see stars, many stars all over the Voynich.
And what I know of XV century is that medicinal astrology was studied in the university, and their belief in the influence of the stars on the herbs and the people in general.
And I see in the Lapidarium and Libro de la Octava Esfera from King Alfonso X the wise (both digitalized) how they try to identify each star with latitude and length, or more visually like the Aries horn, the rear leg of Taurus, Pisces tail...
I think the Voynich is a method to identify stars too, but I don't know how it works. The number 9 stands at the beginning or at the end, or alone, I think for marking the position of a particular star in the ninth sphere and not to be confused with another in the eighth sphere, but it could otherwise. Sincerely I am no sure, but as you see my hunch is based in objective observation.
