No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

The problem is that we are all lost and each one forms his own idea about the images or the script. I believe that the first step that must be taken is to try to see if there is any antecedent, if there is something similar to the Voynich in medieval times.

And yes, there is something like it. It is the lapidary of Alfonso X the Wise, which follows the tradition of Dioscorides in which both minerals and plants had medicinal properties. The originality of the lapidary of Alfonso X is that it links the property of each stone to each of the 30 degrees of each zodiacal sign. In addition, each medicinal stone receives its virtue from one or more stars.

Bearing this in mind, there is a conceptual framework for understanding the Voynich imagery. And once the images are understood, the consequence is logical. The script is nothing more than a system that links the stars to the fantastic medicinal herbs. It's just a coordinate system, like a medieval astronomical table in which each glyph is a visual symbol.
