No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

I think the shape of the glyphs is not valued enough. Its authors chose it in such a way that some of them replicate themselves as in a mirror. We see it for example in the gallows and the benches. And not only is their shape almost similar, they also form strings of identical glyphs.

This property of the script has such a capacity of attraction for the researcher that when the glyphs are replaced by letters of the alphabet one feels that a fundamental quality that the authors put in the script is being lost. It is noteworthy that the glyph that resembles the number 8 is also replicated with the glyph that resembles the number 4 as it was written in Voynich times. One is just double the other.

All this leads me to think of a sphere and its two hemispheres. But maybe someone has another explanation.
