Connections to Trebizond??

Seriously lost in (historical) space.

The diagram, apparently originating with Anania Shirakatsi showing the eight phases of the moon, is - so far- the only source showing a 'wheel with eight curved spokes' like the VMs cosmos.

David of Trebizond, last ruler of the country - conquered in 1461, was apparently in contact with Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, through his (David's) ambassador, Michael Alighieri.

The red spiral on the right, down a bit, reminds me of the VMs cosmic illustrations.

It really does merit looking into as it is in the time period of the Voynich. I was looking at the fall of Constantinople for a reference, because of the bath ritual references in the Voynich and the poison references of those who oppose us, but this also bares looking into. David of Trebizond seems like a likely source for information. I will say that the book does seem to be from a woman, and not a man as the signature on the first page is for a "companion mother."
