Clearly the Rosettes page was very important to the creators of the Voynich Manuscript. It is the largest page in the book. No other page come close to being as large as the Rosettes page.
But it is still only one page.
It is one page in a larger book. If you are going to zoom out and look at the larger picture, you have to look at more than just the Rosettes page.
Can we have a discussion on the order in which the pages of Quire 14 should be read? The jasondavies.com website has them like this:
Quire 14
f85r1
f85r2_f86v4_f86v6
f86v5_f86v3
Ros
Ros2
That was the order I was originally reading them. Then someone, I think it was ReneZ, said something about what was on the back of the Rosettes page. That got me thinking about this one large piece of parchment and how it was folded. I actually took a piece of note paper and started folding it to try to make it look like Quire 14. That was when I decided that f86v5_f86v3 should be read after the Rosettes page.
