Register or Login to view.In the VMS, folio 42 is marked by the singular overwrite of an image and folio 72 (flip side) is marked by a double bar (from the alphabet line) pretending to be the number 11 and this is followed by the initials of michel nostradamus. That page also has a macron, octēbre, where October happens to be the only month directly named in the VMS prophecies.
Note the 30 splits into two 15's, and that folio 42 plus 15 equals 57 (our macron folio) plus another 15 takes us to folio 72.
In conclusion, I think the figure on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is deliberately ambiguous, intending to simultaneously represent the letter "g" and a ל with macron.
It's not pretending to be the number 11. It is the number 11. It is a quire number. It's in the right position and order and folio to be a quire number, an instruction to the binder. The other quire numbers are there also. There's one that may have been trimmed off (sometimes quire numbers are partially or fully trimmed during binding). But the quire numbers are orderly and I doubt that any of them relate to numerology.
JP, Do you agree that the 11 is followed by the letters mn? Well, I'm still waiting for you to explain what the mn means. Is it a standard Latin abbreviation of something? I don't see those letters following any of the other quire numbers? If you could kindly explain the mn, and if your explanation is credible, your argument would be much stronger.
I'm pretty sure that the VMS page numbers and the VMS quire numbers were all prearranged because the marginalia is making use of them for cryptographic purposes. This raises doubts as to the validity of the quire numbers. Has anyone ever taken the VMS apart to confirm that all the quire numbers are at the end of real quires? In the very least there appears to be little regularity on quire size so purposeful manipulation seems quite plausible.
