I Can Read the Voynich MS

[Rebekah]

I keep wondering why someone would add compass points when there is a T-O in the top-right corner.

The only possible reason I can think of so far (other than someone who has a lot of free time and isn't bothered by redundancy) is that if it were a strip map, then orientation could change depending on where you are on the path, and maybe the orientation would be repeated in a second place for clarity for this particular strip.

I am seriously not sure of what you are saying.  I am an avid sailor and I know where this map comes from and where it is going to; and one day I will go there myself Jehovah, God willing.
