[Article] Yet another solution: The Voynich Silenen Comedy
#28
I haven't spoken in this forum for a long time because the discussion has acquired an ignorant undertone and obviously my previous publication on the Voynich Silenen Comedy has not been read carefully. Nevertheless, I would like to answer the criticism, insofar as it is constructive.


To the discussion about Brugg:

Based on the heraldic evidence, there is no doubt about the reading "Brug" for the Habsburg city of Brugg. The polemical "pruck" does not exist. Without the path of heraldry, which has been termed "medieval gossip" here, there is no solution to the manuscript. A rethink needs to take place here. The similar-looking Latin reading "primus" is precisely the deception and camouflage for the place name, which is not quite obvious and simple. Herein lies a pointed pitfall.

On the discussion of “Wallisische Abtey”:

It was criticized that there was no initial letter "a" to be seen here. In fact, it has been correctly argued that all the "a"s on the last page are different. And yet the word abbey is written here! Because it is about the initial letter "A", which is open at the top and which can be found in contemporary writings, and which usually differs from other "a" in the word as a capital letter. Also, as in contemporary writing, the “t” is written in very small letters and should not be read as an “r”.
There is also evidence in later chronicles that the monastery of Saint Maurice in Valais was only referred to as the "Wallisische Abtey" because of its importance.

As already explained in detail in the Voynich Silenen Comedy on the Battle of Sempach, it is not only the Melker Russ, who is quoted by name, the Bern Chronicle, the Austrian Chronicle, or the Chronicle of Spiez, that the pictorial quotations in the heraldic flowers refer to, but about in the case of Basel, the Chronicle of Tschachtlan and the Battle of the Birs. The only correct perspective is the patriotic Helvetian, federal view of the Swiss wars of liberation, as well as the diplomatic efforts of Bishop Jost von Silenen towards Milan, Savoy and Austria. For heraldic reasons, there is no doubt that it is located in the Valais Abbey on the last page.
