John Dee Exhibit 2016

[stellar]

Another figure that might have come in contact with the Voynich Manuscript or a remote chance Authored it was John Dee.  In fact, he was born to Welsh man, Roland Dee and perhaps new the Welsh Language.  John Dee was an Astrologer, Numerologist, Alchemist, Scientist and involved with the Occult.  Below is a doodle by Dee's hand and what is interesting is the two Voynich glyph's at the end of two words.  Dee and Kelly were welcomed into Rudolf the II court.

The shapes at the ends of the words were ubiquitous in Gothic scripts of the late 14th, 15th and early 16th centuries and some of these shapes, especially those common to Gothic cursiva, continued to be used for quite some time into the Renaissance and beyond.

In the late middle ages, European handwriting that didn't have these abbreviations and flourishes was actually less common than hands that did.


Even in modern scripts, we still sometimes see "w" with a tail over it (or a line over it) to represent the word "with", which is just one example of a hold-over from medieval abbreviations.

Then why does the two words express Class and Navigate? If so would it read, "Class with Navigation, navigate with"?
