Register or Login to view.Morten, what are you talking about? Where is there a hat with a little circle on top? The noble person on the left (king??) is wearing a traditional metal crown with a fleur-de-lis shaped edge.
The student or prince on the right is wearing a less fancy chinstrap hat that might also be a crown. Behind him are four other boys with no hats, two of them with their faces partly obscured by his hat.
I just read somewhere that the king on the left is Domitian, a Roman emperor, so I imagine the helmets on the right are are Roman helmets. As you know, I am suffering greatly from poor resolution on my computer screen as well as from poor eyesight, which is causing me to make a lot of mistakes, but I correctly stated that manuscript itself is from the 13th century.
We find a fleur-de-lis in the VMS on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and it is also the form of the shield on f17r. Did use of the fleur-de-lys as a royal symbol begin with the French kings or with the Romans?
Morten there ARE NO HELMETS on the right. There is a boy, a student, possibly a prince, wearing a chinstrap crown with a flat top, like the example I posted above. And there are three more boys WITH NO HATS. There are NO HELMETS.
Morten, I understand about the poor vision. You mentioned it before. That's why I took the clips of the picture and enlarged them in my previous posts.
There is no evidence that the manuscript is from the 13th century. People in the 13th century could NOT have anticipated 15th century clothing and zodiac styles.

If you look at all the Google depictions of 15th century manuscripts, you will notice that these manuscripts reflect a consistent artistic style. Good artist or bad artist, the VMS does not reflect the artistic style of 15th century Europe. I'm sure professional art experts or university professors of art can verify that.
You are assuming there are no professional art experts or university professors in the Voynich community. Your assumption is wrong.
