Is it possible to understand the VM script?
I do not think so. It was not in the XVII and XX centuries, nor do I think it will be in the XXI
I think the only way to understand the script is by first interpreting the imagery.
The solution can only come from the comparison with similar objects of its time. There are images in the VM that can be compared to other contemporary ones. Other images have no comparison but they force us to interpret them based on the culture of their time. The script, as I believe, may only be a consequence of the message implicit in the imagery.
So far, the book has been more scrutinized by linguists and cryptographers that by art historians or experts in medieval iconography. Greater participation by the latter may bring new points of view.
