No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

If there is a prejudice ingrained in the Voynich research it is, without a doubt, the idea that the script is a language, a readable text. If this prejudice ever disappears, it will be seen with crystal clarity that the book does have a meaning, a meaning for the humanity of the fifteenth century.
  
I'll give this example: the glyph that looks like the letter a usually precedes the series of i's. Well, they are neither the letter a nor the letter i. The series of i's are actually slanted lines and these lines have the same shape as the tail of the glyph that looks like the letter a. If the a usually precedes the i's it is because in the scribe's mind the tail of the a is another sloping line.


And what are all those sloping lines? Well, I don't have to go far to look for it. I see them in the astronomical clock on the Rosettes folio. They are simply the degrees of the sphere.
