Only a few glyphs while on the rest of the pages with plants we see a large number of glyphs arranged in what look like words and paragraphs. Why is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. different?

Anyone who thinks that the script hides a natural language or a cipher may have an easy answer: those few glyphs are the name of the plant and the author did not know anything else about it. Neither where to find it nor what purpose it served. That answer, however, seems contradictory to the fact of knowing the name and having drawn it.

For me, simply, the author could have written the entire folio with the script because it is exactly the same to write a few glyphs as it is to write many. The script is an artificial system of combining what I believe are elements of an astronomical code. It doesn't matter how few or many, just as it doesn't matter how to combine them as long as certain rules are followed. Hence it seems that there are two languages (Currier A and B) when in reality what there is is a system that allows flexibility.
