No text, but a visual code

The link to Rene's collection of Panofsky's views is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..  People can judge for themselves if there is something there that is both "fundamental" and ignored by forum members, as you've claimed.  

It appears to me that what you find objectionable is that no one accepts the link you keep trying to tie between Panofsky's views and your own theory that there is no text. 

Many are already of how astrology's close ties to medieval medicine and herbal works.  Many may think (me included) that it probably features more than it already obviously does in the cosmology section.  

None of that logically leads to the conclusion there is "no text".  No matter how much you cite Panofsky, d'Imperio, Friedman, no matter how much you talk about we need to understand the "medieval mind", this does not lead to "no text".  In fact, wouldn't this part "herbal describing the individual plants used for medical and, conceivably, magical purposes" contradict the idea that there is no text?  

It could well be that the nymphs are the astral spirits, and the pipes in the Balneological section are their journey.  I have no issue with that.  But you seem to talk about it like it's a big breakthrough.  It isn't.  It doesn't take us anywhere.  So what reaction are you expecting from us every time you cite Panofsky and are constantly disappointed with its lack of appearance?  It feels that you expect us to jump from "The Great Panofsky said this" to "Ah, the no text theory must be right."  

I can't speak for the others, but that is why I 've been ignoring it lately whenever you cite Panofsky.   That, and the fact that I haven't been to this thread for a while because it contains far more "bump" posts than any new developments of your theory.  I think I've said it before:   if you spent more time addressing the flaws of your theory; looking for any contemporary "non-text text"; and trying to match the pages of "non text" to contemporary star charts, you might get more engagement.
