The Arma Christi [General discussion]
#92
Here's another thing that's interesting about this manuscript...

It has some pseudo-text, which is not unusual in itself, but the pseudo-text isn't quite what one would expect for the second quarter of the 14th century.

They have mixed Indic-Arabic numerals with Greek. This style of numerals was not in general use until the late 14th century. They only show up in a few scientific texts. In the 1320s the majority were still using Roman numerals.

Plus, they have been combined with the Greek letters almost as though the numbers and letters are the same (and these are not Greek numbers).

It's the most Voynich-like pseudo-text I have seen. Not necessarily in form (the letter-shapes are different—they are recognizably Greek), but the numeral-shapes 4 and 8 are the same as in the VMS. So the letters are different, but the concept is essentially the same, combine Greek-like shapes with Indic-Arabic numerals placed at the beginnings and/or ends of the tokens (just as the "4" shape is almost always at the beginning, and the "89" shape is almost always at the end in Voynichese). Note that it is "3o" in this example in the same position as the VMS has "4o":
