No text, but a visual code

Hello René:

Somewhere you have written that the Voynich could simply be a catalog of stars. That is what I think. I think anyone who has studied the images in the book for years and knows enough about medieval thought can come to the same conclusion.

But it is only when this conclusion is reached that the mind opens. It is when one, as is my case, begins to think that the script that looks like a language or an encrypted language may just be a system of symbols to locate the stars in the sky.

In this system, logically the entropy is very low because it is about reproducing celestial positions and movements with symbols that are repeated over and over again with few variations.

Dear Antonio,

what you are referring to is probably the following:

I consider that the zodiac part of the Voynich MS refers to the degrees of the zodiac. There are 30 for each sign, so each 'nymph holding a star' represents one degree.

The more hypothetical part of this consideration is that each degree of the zodiac is being associated with one star.
This was done in classical astronomy, e.g. looking at stars rising at the same time as the particular degree of the zodiac. But there are other possibilities: star longitudes were expressed this way as well.
In this hypothesis, the different number of points of each star held by the nymph is a measure of its brightness (magnitude). The posture of the nymph might indicate other properties of the associated event.

There are some tantalising 'coincidences', but I have not been able to find any usable evidence that all this is correct.

(I wish that future proposers of Voynich solutions would memorise this last sentence and keep it in mind always).

All the other parts of the MS for are just what they look like, or, alternatively, were meant to look what they look like.
