No text, but a visual code

[-JKP-]

If someone were writing an astronomical text, he would have to be missing a few brain cells to write 200 pages with only numbers 4 (l) and 8 (d) in almost every word while excluding other numbers.

  This is the kind of statement that assumes that a fifteenth-century man uses the same logic as ours.

Following this reasoning, we will come to reproach the author of the Voynich for not having done things well.

I have seen many astronomical and astrological medieval texts and, in the medieval scientific community, their logic was not terrible. Attention to scientific method was not what it is today, but the books are rational within what they knew and quite understandable to us.

If your best explanation for the missing numbers in what you claim to be an astronomical text is that they reasoned differently from us I don't accept it. In medieval astronomical texts they did think like us for the most part.

They didn't have telescopes yet, so their comprehension of different celestial bodies was limited, and they depended heavily on classical concepts that hadn't been empirically tested yet, but they did not fill up whole books with the numbers 8 and 4 while ignoring other numbers. In fact, some of them showed insight and intelligence by adapting Indic-Arabic numerals 300 years before the common literate man because LOGICALLY it was a better system (than Roman numerals) for science and mathematics.
