No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

There are usually things so visible that they are not seen for that reason. They are not paid attention. The glyphs in the script speak for themselves, that is, they are full of information. I have already given some examples. Another is the glyph which is a small inclined line.

Why didn't the scribe make the line vertical, as seems more natural. And why is it a glyph that is repeated, up to three or more times?. For me it is simply because the scribe, when designing that glyph, is thinking in a sphere, he is inserting those lines in a sphere, like those seen in the volvelles of the time.
