Ruby's Greek Thread

[cvetkakocj@rogers.com]

I have not found much more information about the Dodonian oracle and the relationship of our manuscript to it.

Hi, Rubi,
I believe the VM text has a lot to do with prophesy and I am quite sure the author read Plutarch's work Morelia and his explanation of Delphic E. There are some clues on several pages, particularly on 77r.  Plutarch explains the Delphic E symbol to mean 'god' and at the same time 'if'. 
If the author was a mystic, he would meditate on prophesy as Plutarch explained it, not based on zodiac signs, but on knowing history and applying historical events to present and predict outcome based based on similar events in the past, since people tended to make the same mistakes. By the way, the oracles in Dadona were pronounced by well educated women.
