No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

I am seduced by the idea that the flowers we see in the Voynich are the flowers of the earthly paradise, perfectly unknown to humanity. This idea is greatly reinforced by the image of the Rosettes, where the walled city that we see can be interpreted as the heavenly city, the new Jerusalem, or the earthly paradise.

Koen and Cary have a brilliant thread with the idea of the Rosettes as the new Jerusalem. But this concept is confused in the medieval mind with that of the earthly paradise. Paradise is walled and full of flowers, as we see in the painting that I put in the previous post. 

But what reinforces the idea even more are the precious containers of the central Rosette, similar to some that we see in the so-called pharmacological section. These containers collect the fragrance of these heavenly flowers.
