It is one more sign of incompetence, that what is really needed to face the Voynich is a deep knowledge of medieval culture.
The drawing on the Rosettes page it's a sketch of an astronomical clock. The clock has two hands because one represents the sun and the other the moon. We can still see it on the famous Prague clock, which is contemporary with the VM, at least its oldest part.
I almost skimmed over this post because of its condescending tone, but this may be an interesting idea. There are some issues though:
- Why is the circle that would be Earth in the VM off centre? Earth is the centre of the universe.
- Why only eight divisions? This is expected of something like directions, but for an astronomical clock wouldn't we expect 12?
