The codex is a set of illustrations with supposed text, not just a book with a weird script. I maintain that the script is just an astronomical code, but as part of a global interpretation that includes the images. Everything within the culture of the moment in which the book was made.
I understand that there is skepticism with my solution, but at least no one will deny me that I try to give a total and coherent solution to the entire codex, not just a part of it
Agreed. A comprehensive solution must account for the text and the illustrations. And I personally agree with you that the two are inextricably connected, but among many researchers it is not a settled matter.
In the extreme case, there are those who think the illustrations are merely decoys that have nothing to do with the text and script. Others, as you say, proceed to study the text as though it has no necessary connection with the illustrations. Your proposal, Antonio, has the virtue of being coherent and unified and doesn't require any disconnect between word and image. That's what attracts me about your proposal and approach. After all, these strange drawings and the strange script are both in the same work.
I'm inclined to think the script and language were crafted specifically for this work and to go with these illustrations. I detect a global design, a single project.
But what is the exact relationship between the text (script) and illustrations?
In the very centre of 67v do we see one of the herb illustrations making the shape of a Voynich script glyph [l]?
