No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

As I have said on many occasions, what I believe is that the VM is above all an astrological book and what it shows is the influence that the stars of the zodiac have on the virtues of medicinal plants. Therefore, I believe that there is complete coherence between the imagery and the script.

I see that you continue talking about nymphs and for me that is an error of interpretation because we immediately think of beings or spirits related to water, and what I believe is that the numerous female figures are a representation of the stars of the zodiac that naturally when they descend to the Earth through this entire system of pipes bring with them the water necessary for the plants.

I deduce the script from my interpretation of the imagery. And that is why I believe that glyphs are only symbols with astronomical value and that the glyph [o], which is the most common, is a representation of the stars.

I am firmly opposed to considering that the glyphs derive from letters of the Latin alphabet or from Latin abbreviations, but it is purely common sense. This codex was studied in the 17th century by people who knew more Latin than anyone in the 21st century and no one saw the slightest connection with the Latin writing system.
