No text, but a visual code

[Hermes777]

The glyphs that make up the script cannot be reduced to an alphabet. Transliteration systems leave out many glyphs. Jim Reeds made a catalog of these rare symbols. They are reproduced on the ReneZ website.

What happens is that the VM script is iconic in nature. I mean, the scribe or scribes try to graphically reproduce celestial movements. There are benched gallows that have a glyph c underneath, between the c's of the bench. It is the iconic way of representing the transit of the Moon. There are also gallows that have a glyph c under the legs. The t and k gallows have the c under the right leg. In the case of p and f gallows (lunar nodes), the glyph c, the Moon, is under the left leg. 

Everything seems to be a game that simulates a language with words made up of astronomical symbols.

"There are benched gallows that have a glyph c underneath, between the c's of the bench. It is the iconic way of representing the transit of the Moon." That is a good example to use to illustrate your reading Antonio. I can see how it would operate. But while I can see it in particular cases, even whole 'vords', I cannot imagine how or why it works across a whole text, or even paragraphs. Strings of astrological configurations arranged to look like words. There must be wider organising principles. And what, then, is going on in the ms. as a whole? Can you provide a global explanation for the apparent astrological configurations we might be seeing in particular cases? I can't think of (or imagine) another text like that. It would need a compelling context (or subtext) to explain it, or just to make it more plausible.
