I am human. Guilty as charged. But believe me, when I started investigating the Voynich Manuscript, I did NOT want to see it as any kind of "sex manual". I liked the idea that many people presented that the Voynich Manuscript was created as a 15th century health manual for women. That would be very unexpected and very nice to find. It didn't happen.
When I started investigating the Voynich Manuscript, I tried to approach it with an open mind. As I stated before, my first impression of any meaning in the illustrations was the Ensoulment on page Quire 13 You are not allowed to view links.

From there it was a short step to seeing all the star images as souls. I then discovered that Ernest A. Lillie had presented that idea 20 years ago. This link should download a copy of Lillie's paper if you click it:

I liked the idea that Earnest Lillie presented for a connection between the Voynich Manuscript and Dante's Divine Comedy. It has nymphs and stars:

"Dante is submerged in the water, and enters the dance of the four women, who tell Dante that they were nymphs when here, and stars in the sky."
I tried very hard to see the Rosettes page as Dante's Nine Spheres of Heaven. That was what I wanted to see but I was not able to make a match between Dante's Nine Spheres and the nine Rosettes of the Voynich Manuscript. I had no choice but to toss out that idea and find a new idea.
I would love to know where Ernest A. Lillie is today. I hope he is still living.
