No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

There is no Rosetta Stone to interpret the VM but there are enough contemporary parallels to make claims with a high degree of probability. Apart from the lapidary of King Alfonso X, there is, for example, this illustration in which we see the personification of the planets holding stars.

What we see in the VM is an obvious parallel: the female figures holding stars in their hands cannot be anything other than the personification of the fixed stars of the zodiac.

It is true that the Voynich codex is extremely complex and difficult to understand, but I have always had the feeling that there is a certain desire to obscure it further. Anyone who has been studying it seriously for years will surely come to the conclusion that it is a work that fits perfectly into its time.

Regarding whether the VM has any meaning, it seems like a pointless debate to me. How can a codex that has required sacrificing so many animals to obtain vellum not have meaning, whatever it may be? How can a codex that has required so much work on the illustrations and script not mean something?
