I Can Read the Voynich MS

Also, north at the top was a new concept at the time, even Fra Mauro's world map of 1450 was south up, but the Genoese world map was north up, and Oresme et al appear to have held a general north up view, so it is possible. How does this reconcile with using super ancient Hebrew, when the etymology of the Hebrew words is evidently linked with standing at Jerusalem (from the information in the links i posted, or was that erroneous information?).

I appreciate your consideration of the various possibilities, Linda, but it doesn't matter if a small percentage of medieval maps had north at the top. What is important is

1. That Rebekah seemed completely unaware that the majority of maps had east at the top and didn't even take this possibility into consideration, simply ASSUMING top was north.
   
2. Rebekah's translations for the cardinal points did not equate to Hebrew (ancient or otherwise) no matter which way you oriented the map (her words for father and mother are wrong too).
