No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

The great value of the iconographic interpretation of the Voynich made by Panofsky and Father Petersen is that it fits very well with medieval thought. His ideas are like a mirror of the way the world looked at the time.

  These are not unorthodox ideas in any way. It is the conception of the world of Christian authors, of Albertus Magnus or Roger Bacon. It is clearly seen for example in the encyclopedia by Vincent de Beauvais, in which we can read:

  Some have said that there is no herb on Earth which has not a star in the sky which is concerned for it and causes it to grow 

We see it also in the work The Image du Monde by Gautier or Gossuin de Metz as a design of God:

All difference that happens by nature in herbs, in plants, in animals, happens through the celestial power that God gave to the stars when he first formed the world
