Morten St George Theory

[Morten St. George]

Why, it's quite obviously a bad bit of functional calculus!

f(x)+t(x) -> {C:r+G} ........

Rather than that, I like to refer to it as "secret communication". It was employed to a greater or lessor extent (sometimes only within a graphic) in all Rosicrucian publications dating from 1588 to 1638 and this includes works written in the French, English, Italian, German and Latin languages.

In secret communication, the author tries to send a message to someone in the distant future knowing full well that, in the interim period, his message is going to pass into the hands of people (ie. the Inquisition) who would want to destroy his message if they were to figure out what it said. The message that the author of the VMS marginalia wanted to send into the future included clues on how to decode the VMS.

How does he accomplish this? If he employs some type of code, how does he get the decoding keys into the future while making sure that those keys wouldn't also fall into the hands of the Inquisition?

So what does he do? He knows he would prefer to send the message to someone in the future who has already identified the VMS prophecies (a small subset of the Nostradamus prophecies), so he writes in such a way that his writing could only be understood by someone who was familiar with those prophecies. And in the interim, the thousands of inquisitors who saw his communication were never able to make heads or tails of it.

Thus the first two words of the marginalia, pox leber, despite a darkened x and a dot over leber, are universally accepted as meaning goat's liver (never mind that the VMS is ostensibly a botany book) but someone who is familiar with the prophecies will notice that similar wording, per liber or por libre, are the first two words of a VMS prophecy. He can also envision ga| mich as a truncation of gal(lo) mich(el) while the inquisitors only see goose's milk (never mind that milk is usually spelled milch and that it has no other relevance to anything). And for calculus, he knows that the por libre prophecy has a number that might be indicated within the gibberish.

I now realize that secret communication lies permanently beyond the comprehension of inquisitors so I will drop the topic at least for the time being. I have new ideas on resolving other mysteries of the VMS and will start posting on that shortly.
