From "decryption" to "translation"
#39
Quote:This looks very much like the "attribution" stating the name of the person at the end of a quote. To me, the first page looks very much like a series of four quotes, as one often finds on the introductory page of a major work or ms.

Of note, in the past You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has been suggested to represent kinda "table of contents", with those right-aligned text blocks for section titles or designations, and the bodies of paragraphs for brief descriptions.

Quotations is an interesting idea, but I don't know if it was customary in 15c to include epigraphs, I have some impression that it is a later practice.

Once again, the whole approach that I'm proposing in this thread is to stay language-invariant. If you at once set yourself within the framework of Greek (why Greek, to begin with, and not Nahuatl, others claim that this is Nahuatl, some folks claim Latin etc.), - in other words within the framework of any particular lanhuage, you at once become a hostage of limitations of that particular language, and in order to overcome those you are then in need to admit exceptions and assumptions in order to relieve orthography and grammar. That's the weakness of the "concrete language" methodology. Instead of gradually working out its "true" language from the Voynich, people come and impose their favourite language unto it, or (which is worse) a mix of several languages.
