Crossbowman

[-JKP-]

The 'crossbowman' thing has been around for ages. 

I understand that someone wanted to know about the maritime bow.

It's included in the full analysis of the image which I've posted as a separate page.

But arguing that the Voynich archer is German only works if you never look at a wider range of images for Sagittarius, whether that wider range is geographical or linguistic or chronological.

Diane, I take the time to read all your forum posts and do so with care and attention but some of the things you repeatedly say with great emphasis leave me confused. I don't comprehend your sources for these statements.

Over and over you talk about the German theory and German theorists and recount the specific assumptions these "German theorists" make, and I have yet to make any sense of who these people are.


Now you imply that someone is arguing that the archer is German and I have no idea who you are talking about or who proposed that idea as a fact (or as a very strong probability). I haven't seen anyone assert that the archer is German.

I feel I'm missing something when I understand other people's posts but I'm befuddled by yours because I don't know who these "German theorists" are. You always write about it as though there are quite a few of them and as if you have had lengthy discussions with them about their methods (otherwise how would you know what their working assumptions are?). Is there some mailing list or forum I don't know about where there is a "German contingent" to which you constantly allude?
