JP, In your group of 10, what you interpret as the letters "to" is actually a "k", a single letter representing kyryos who you will find spelled out in full on line 5 of my first SSM citation. All 72 letters correspond to the 72 names in the same order maybe excepting a "y for a "j" or a "v" for a "u". For the 1 * 8, I gave two possible explanations in my post.

It might actually be "tr" rather than "to". I can't tell without seeing a larger block of text and I definitely can't tell if that is "k" without a larger block of text because that would be a rare way to write k.

You still haven't explained the one that is clearly 8 letters and you seem to be selectively ignoring the first one which is one letter and explaining it with a different explanation, which is a questionable way to do it.

While I got you online, I'm wondering if you, like me, see some similarity between the following numbers:




The one of the left is from the SSM (Spain, 1346) and the one on the right is from the VMS. Many other page numbers are also similar looking. In fact, the numbers are similar throughout. Experts are claiming that John Dee wrote the page numbers for both. I had a brief look at a couple of Dee's letters and I'm not completely convinced. Besides that, I have indications that a poet laureate wrote the marginalia, not an astrologer. What's your opinion on all this?

They are similar but I also have about 200 samples of text from that time period that are similar and about 10 of them are extremely similar. Many people wrote numbers that way (including John Dee).
